3\left(x+1\right)-2\left(9-2x\right)=6-\left(5+x\right)
Multiply both sides of the equation by 6, the least common multiple of 2,3,6.
3x+3-2\left(9-2x\right)=6-\left(5+x\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by x+1.
3x+3-18+4x=6-\left(5+x\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply -2 by 9-2x.
3x-15+4x=6-\left(5+x\right)
Subtract 18 from 3 to get -15.
7x-15=6-\left(5+x\right)
Combine 3x and 4x to get 7x.
7x-15=6-5-x
To find the opposite of 5+x, find the opposite of each term.
7x-15=1-x
Subtract 5 from 6 to get 1.
7x-15+x=1
Add x to both sides.
8x-15=1
Combine 7x and x to get 8x.
8x=1+15
Add 15 to both sides.
8x=16
Add 1 and 15 to get 16.
x=\frac{16}{8}
Divide both sides by 8.
x=2
Divide 16 by 8 to get 2.
