\frac{3}{2}x-\frac{1}{2}\left(1-3x\right)=\frac{2}{3}\times \frac{3}{2}
Multiply both sides by \frac{3}{2}, the reciprocal of \frac{2}{3}.
\frac{3}{2}x-\frac{1}{2}\left(1-3x\right)=1
Cancel out \frac{2}{3} and its reciprocal \frac{3}{2}.
\frac{3}{2}x-\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{2}\left(-3\right)x=1
Use the distributive property to multiply -\frac{1}{2} by 1-3x.
\frac{3}{2}x-\frac{1}{2}+\frac{-\left(-3\right)}{2}x=1
Express -\frac{1}{2}\left(-3\right) as a single fraction.
\frac{3}{2}x-\frac{1}{2}+\frac{3}{2}x=1
Multiply -1 and -3 to get 3.
3x-\frac{1}{2}=1
Combine \frac{3}{2}x and \frac{3}{2}x to get 3x.
3x=1+\frac{1}{2}
Add \frac{1}{2} to both sides.
3x=\frac{2}{2}+\frac{1}{2}
Convert 1 to fraction \frac{2}{2}.
3x=\frac{2+1}{2}
Since \frac{2}{2} and \frac{1}{2} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.
3x=\frac{3}{2}
Add 2 and 1 to get 3.
x=\frac{\frac{3}{2}}{3}
Divide both sides by 3.
x=\frac{3}{2\times 3}
Express \frac{\frac{3}{2}}{3} as a single fraction.
x=\frac{1}{2}
Cancel out 3 in both numerator and denominator.
