3\left(2x-1\right)-2\left(3+1\right)=2\left(3\times 3+1\right)-2\left(x+1\right)
Multiply both sides of the equation by 6, the least common multiple of 2,3.
6x-3-2\left(3+1\right)=2\left(3\times 3+1\right)-2\left(x+1\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by 2x-1.
6x-3-2\times 4=2\left(3\times 3+1\right)-2\left(x+1\right)
Add 3 and 1 to get 4.
6x-3-8=2\left(3\times 3+1\right)-2\left(x+1\right)
Multiply -2 and 4 to get -8.
6x-11=2\left(3\times 3+1\right)-2\left(x+1\right)
Subtract 8 from -3 to get -11.
6x-11=2\left(9+1\right)-2\left(x+1\right)
Multiply 3 and 3 to get 9.
6x-11=2\times 10-2\left(x+1\right)
Add 9 and 1 to get 10.
6x-11=20-2\left(x+1\right)
Multiply 2 and 10 to get 20.
6x-11=20-2x-2
Use the distributive property to multiply -2 by x+1.
6x-11=18-2x
Subtract 2 from 20 to get 18.
6x-11+2x=18
Add 2x to both sides.
8x-11=18
Combine 6x and 2x to get 8x.
8x=18+11
Add 11 to both sides.
8x=29
Add 18 and 11 to get 29.
x=\frac{29}{8}
Divide both sides by 8.
