2x-3\left(2x+1\right)=x-6x
Multiply both sides of the equation by 6, the least common multiple of 3,2,6.
2x-6x-3=x-6x
Use the distributive property to multiply -3 by 2x+1.
-4x-3=x-6x
Combine 2x and -6x to get -4x.
-4x-3=-5x
Combine x and -6x to get -5x.
-4x-3+5x=0
Add 5x to both sides.
x-3=0
Combine -4x and 5x to get x.
x=3
Add 3 to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
