\left(x-3\right)\left(1-x\right)-\left(x-4\right)\times 3\left(1-x\right)=2\left(x-4\right)\left(x-3\right)
Variable x cannot be equal to any of the values 3,4 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by \left(x-4\right)\left(x-3\right), the least common multiple of x-4,x-3.
4x-x^{2}-3-\left(x-4\right)\times 3\left(1-x\right)=2\left(x-4\right)\left(x-3\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply x-3 by 1-x and combine like terms.
4x-x^{2}-3-\left(3x-12\right)\left(1-x\right)=2\left(x-4\right)\left(x-3\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply x-4 by 3.
4x-x^{2}-3-\left(15x-3x^{2}-12\right)=2\left(x-4\right)\left(x-3\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 3x-12 by 1-x and combine like terms.
4x-x^{2}-3-15x+3x^{2}+12=2\left(x-4\right)\left(x-3\right)
To find the opposite of 15x-3x^{2}-12, find the opposite of each term.
-11x-x^{2}-3+3x^{2}+12=2\left(x-4\right)\left(x-3\right)
Combine 4x and -15x to get -11x.
-11x+2x^{2}-3+12=2\left(x-4\right)\left(x-3\right)
Combine -x^{2} and 3x^{2} to get 2x^{2}.
-11x+2x^{2}+9=2\left(x-4\right)\left(x-3\right)
Add -3 and 12 to get 9.
-11x+2x^{2}+9=\left(2x-8\right)\left(x-3\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by x-4.
-11x+2x^{2}+9=2x^{2}-14x+24
Use the distributive property to multiply 2x-8 by x-3 and combine like terms.
-11x+2x^{2}+9-2x^{2}=-14x+24
Subtract 2x^{2} from both sides.
-11x+9=-14x+24
Combine 2x^{2} and -2x^{2} to get 0.
-11x+9+14x=24
Add 14x to both sides.
3x+9=24
Combine -11x and 14x to get 3x.
3x=24-9
Subtract 9 from both sides.
3x=15
Subtract 9 from 24 to get 15.
x=\frac{15}{3}
Divide both sides by 3.
x=5
Divide 15 by 3 to get 5.
