1=3\left(3x-1\right)\times \frac{1}{3}+3\times 2
Variable x cannot be equal to \frac{1}{3} since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 3\left(3x-1\right), the least common multiple of 9x-3,3,1-3x.
1=3x-1+3\times 2
Multiply 3 and \frac{1}{3} to get 1.
1=3x-1+6
Multiply 3 and 2 to get 6.
1=3x+5
Add -1 and 6 to get 5.
3x+5=1
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
3x=1-5
Subtract 5 from both sides.
3x=-4
Subtract 5 from 1 to get -4.
x=\frac{-4}{3}
Divide both sides by 3.
x=-\frac{4}{3}
Fraction \frac{-4}{3} can be rewritten as -\frac{4}{3} by extracting the negative sign.
