\left(x-1\right)\times 3-\left(3-x\right)\times 2=0
Variable x cannot be equal to any of the values 1,3 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by \left(x-3\right)\left(x-1\right), the least common multiple of x-3,1-x.
3x-3-\left(3-x\right)\times 2=0
Use the distributive property to multiply x-1 by 3.
3x-3-\left(6-2x\right)=0
Use the distributive property to multiply 3-x by 2.
3x-3-6+2x=0
To find the opposite of 6-2x, find the opposite of each term.
3x-9+2x=0
Subtract 6 from -3 to get -9.
5x-9=0
Combine 3x and 2x to get 5x.
5x=9
Add 9 to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
x=\frac{9}{5}
Divide both sides by 5.
