6\times 3-3x\times 2=28x
Variable x cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 6x, the least common multiple of x,2,3.
18-3x\times 2=28x
Multiply 6 and 3 to get 18.
18-6x=28x
Multiply 3 and 2 to get 6.
18-6x-28x=0
Subtract 28x from both sides.
-6x-28x=-18
Subtract 18 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
-34x=-18
Combine -6x and -28x to get -34x.
x=\frac{-18}{-34}
Divide both sides by -34.
x=\frac{9}{17}
Reduce the fraction \frac{-18}{-34} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out -2.
