3\left(5x-1\right)=2\times 4x+18
Multiply both sides of the equation by 6, the least common multiple of 2,3.
15x-3=2\times 4x+18
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by 5x-1.
15x-3=8x+18
Multiply 2 and 4 to get 8.
15x-3-8x=18
Subtract 8x from both sides.
7x-3=18
Combine 15x and -8x to get 7x.
7x=18+3
Add 3 to both sides.
7x=21
Add 18 and 3 to get 21.
x=\frac{21}{7}
Divide both sides by 7.
x=3
Divide 21 by 7 to get 3.
