4\left(3x-2\right)-2\times 3\left(x+1\right)=5\left(3-x\right)-18
Multiply both sides of the equation by 20, the least common multiple of 5,10,4.
12x-8-2\times 3\left(x+1\right)=5\left(3-x\right)-18
Use the distributive property to multiply 4 by 3x-2.
12x-8-6\left(x+1\right)=5\left(3-x\right)-18
Multiply -2 and 3 to get -6.
12x-8-6x-6=5\left(3-x\right)-18
Use the distributive property to multiply -6 by x+1.
6x-8-6=5\left(3-x\right)-18
Combine 12x and -6x to get 6x.
6x-14=5\left(3-x\right)-18
Subtract 6 from -8 to get -14.
6x-14=15-5x-18
Use the distributive property to multiply 5 by 3-x.
6x-14=-3-5x
Subtract 18 from 15 to get -3.
6x-14+5x=-3
Add 5x to both sides.
11x-14=-3
Combine 6x and 5x to get 11x.
11x=-3+14
Add 14 to both sides.
11x=11
Add -3 and 14 to get 11.
x=\frac{11}{11}
Divide both sides by 11.
x=1
Divide 11 by 11 to get 1.
