\left(2x-1\right)\times 3=\left(2x+1\right)\times 2-\left(x+1\right)
Variable x cannot be equal to any of the values -\frac{1}{2},\frac{1}{2} since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by \left(2x-1\right)\left(2x+1\right), the least common multiple of 2x+1,2x-1,4x^{2}-1.
6x-3=\left(2x+1\right)\times 2-\left(x+1\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 2x-1 by 3.
6x-3=4x+2-\left(x+1\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 2x+1 by 2.
6x-3=4x+2-x-1
To find the opposite of x+1, find the opposite of each term.
6x-3=3x+2-1
Combine 4x and -x to get 3x.
6x-3=3x+1
Subtract 1 from 2 to get 1.
6x-3-3x=1
Subtract 3x from both sides.
3x-3=1
Combine 6x and -3x to get 3x.
3x=1+3
Add 3 to both sides.
3x=4
Add 1 and 3 to get 4.
x=\frac{4}{3}
Divide both sides by 3.
