3\left(-3x+6\right)+6x=-7\left(x-2\right)
Variable x cannot be equal to 2 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 6\left(x-2\right), the least common multiple of 2x-4,x-2,6.
-9x+18+6x=-7\left(x-2\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by -3x+6.
-3x+18=-7\left(x-2\right)
Combine -9x and 6x to get -3x.
-3x+18=-7x+14
Use the distributive property to multiply -7 by x-2.
-3x+18+7x=14
Add 7x to both sides.
4x+18=14
Combine -3x and 7x to get 4x.
4x=14-18
Subtract 18 from both sides.
4x=-4
Subtract 18 from 14 to get -4.
x=\frac{-4}{4}
Divide both sides by 4.
x=-1
Divide -4 by 4 to get -1.
