2\left(6x+1\right)=3x
Variable x cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 6x, the least common multiple of 3x,2.
12x+2=3x
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by 6x+1.
12x+2-3x=0
Subtract 3x from both sides.
9x+2=0
Combine 12x and -3x to get 9x.
9x=-2
Subtract 2 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
x=\frac{-2}{9}
Divide both sides by 9.
x=-\frac{2}{9}
Fraction \frac{-2}{9} can be rewritten as -\frac{2}{9} by extracting the negative sign.
