3\left(2x+1\right)-12<6x-2\left(x-3\right)
Multiply both sides of the equation by 6, the least common multiple of 2,3. Since 6 is positive, the inequality direction remains the same.
6x+3-12<6x-2\left(x-3\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by 2x+1.
6x-9<6x-2\left(x-3\right)
Subtract 12 from 3 to get -9.
6x-9<6x-2x+6
Use the distributive property to multiply -2 by x-3.
6x-9<4x+6
Combine 6x and -2x to get 4x.
6x-9-4x<6
Subtract 4x from both sides.
2x-9<6
Combine 6x and -4x to get 2x.
2x<6+9
Add 9 to both sides.
2x<15
Add 6 and 9 to get 15.
x<\frac{15}{2}
Divide both sides by 2. Since 2 is positive, the inequality direction remains the same.
