4x-9\left(1-\frac{3-x}{3}\right)=2-3x
Multiply both sides of the equation by 6, the least common multiple of 3,2,6.
4x-9\left(1-\left(1-\frac{1}{3}x\right)\right)=2-3x
Divide each term of 3-x by 3 to get 1-\frac{1}{3}x.
4x-9\left(1-1-\left(-\frac{1}{3}x\right)\right)=2-3x
To find the opposite of 1-\frac{1}{3}x, find the opposite of each term.
4x-9\left(1-1+\frac{1}{3}x\right)=2-3x
The opposite of -\frac{1}{3}x is \frac{1}{3}x.
4x-9\times \frac{1}{3}x=2-3x
Subtract 1 from 1 to get 0.
4x-\frac{9}{3}x=2-3x
Multiply 9 and \frac{1}{3} to get \frac{9}{3}.
4x-3x=2-3x
Divide 9 by 3 to get 3.
x=2-3x
Combine 4x and -3x to get x.
x+3x=2
Add 3x to both sides.
4x=2
Combine x and 3x to get 4x.
x=\frac{2}{4}
Divide both sides by 4.
x=\frac{1}{2}
Reduce the fraction \frac{2}{4} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.
