\left(2x-3\right)\times 2=\left(x-1\right)\times 9
Variable x cannot be equal to any of the values 1,\frac{3}{2} since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by \left(x-1\right)\left(2x-3\right), the least common multiple of x-1,2x-3.
4x-6=\left(x-1\right)\times 9
Use the distributive property to multiply 2x-3 by 2.
4x-6=9x-9
Use the distributive property to multiply x-1 by 9.
4x-6-9x=-9
Subtract 9x from both sides.
-5x-6=-9
Combine 4x and -9x to get -5x.
-5x=-9+6
Add 6 to both sides.
-5x=-3
Add -9 and 6 to get -3.
x=\frac{-3}{-5}
Divide both sides by -5.
x=\frac{3}{5}
Fraction \frac{-3}{-5} can be simplified to \frac{3}{5} by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.
