2\left(2x-1\right)=6-\left(2x+1\right)
Multiply both sides of the equation by 6, the least common multiple of 3,6.
4x-2=6-\left(2x+1\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by 2x-1.
4x-2=6-2x-1
To find the opposite of 2x+1, find the opposite of each term.
4x-2=5-2x
Subtract 1 from 6 to get 5.
4x-2+2x=5
Add 2x to both sides.
6x-2=5
Combine 4x and 2x to get 6x.
6x=5+2
Add 2 to both sides.
6x=7
Add 5 and 2 to get 7.
x=\frac{7}{6}
Divide both sides by 6.
