3\times 2\left(x-1\right)-4\left(3x-2\right)=2x
Multiply both sides of the equation by 12, the least common multiple of 4,3,6.
6\left(x-1\right)-4\left(3x-2\right)=2x
Multiply 3 and 2 to get 6.
6x-6-4\left(3x-2\right)=2x
Use the distributive property to multiply 6 by x-1.
6x-6-12x+8=2x
Use the distributive property to multiply -4 by 3x-2.
-6x-6+8=2x
Combine 6x and -12x to get -6x.
-6x+2=2x
Add -6 and 8 to get 2.
-6x+2-2x=0
Subtract 2x from both sides.
-8x+2=0
Combine -6x and -2x to get -8x.
-8x=-2
Subtract 2 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
x=\frac{-2}{-8}
Divide both sides by -8.
x=\frac{1}{4}
Reduce the fraction \frac{-2}{-8} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out -2.
