2\left(3x-1\right)-\left(x+9\right)=2\left(2x-3\right)
Variable x cannot be equal to \frac{3}{2} since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 2\left(2x-3\right), the least common multiple of 2x-3,4x-6.
6x-2-\left(x+9\right)=2\left(2x-3\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by 3x-1.
6x-2-x-9=2\left(2x-3\right)
To find the opposite of x+9, find the opposite of each term.
5x-2-9=2\left(2x-3\right)
Combine 6x and -x to get 5x.
5x-11=2\left(2x-3\right)
Subtract 9 from -2 to get -11.
5x-11=4x-6
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by 2x-3.
5x-11-4x=-6
Subtract 4x from both sides.
x-11=-6
Combine 5x and -4x to get x.
x=-6+11
Add 11 to both sides.
x=5
Add -6 and 11 to get 5.
