3\times 3\left(x-4\right)-x+3x=2\left(x-9\right)
Multiply both sides of the equation by 6, the least common multiple of 2,6,3.
9\left(x-4\right)-x+3x=2\left(x-9\right)
Multiply 3 and 3 to get 9.
9x-36-x+3x=2\left(x-9\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 9 by x-4.
12x-36-x=2\left(x-9\right)
Combine 9x and 3x to get 12x.
12x-36-x=2x-18
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by x-9.
12x-36-x-2x=-18
Subtract 2x from both sides.
10x-36-x=-18
Combine 12x and -2x to get 10x.
10x-x=-18+36
Add 36 to both sides.
10x-x=18
Add -18 and 36 to get 18.
9x=18
Combine 10x and -x to get 9x.
x=\frac{18}{9}
Divide both sides by 9.
x=2
Divide 18 by 9 to get 2.
