3\times 3x+24\left(x-1\right)=42-2\left(x+1\right)
Multiply both sides of the equation by 6, the least common multiple of 2,3.
9x+24\left(x-1\right)=42-2\left(x+1\right)
Multiply 3 and 3 to get 9.
9x+24x-24=42-2\left(x+1\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 24 by x-1.
33x-24=42-2\left(x+1\right)
Combine 9x and 24x to get 33x.
33x-24=42-2x-2
Use the distributive property to multiply -2 by x+1.
33x-24=40-2x
Subtract 2 from 42 to get 40.
33x-24+2x=40
Add 2x to both sides.
35x-24=40
Combine 33x and 2x to get 35x.
35x=40+24
Add 24 to both sides.
35x=64
Add 40 and 24 to get 64.
x=\frac{64}{35}
Divide both sides by 35.
