x+3\times 3=6x
Variable x cannot be equal to 1 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 6\left(x-1\right), the least common multiple of 6x-6,2x-2,x-1.
x+9=6x
Multiply 3 and 3 to get 9.
x+9-6x=0
Subtract 6x from both sides.
-5x+9=0
Combine x and -6x to get -5x.
-5x=-9
Subtract 9 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
x=\frac{-9}{-5}
Divide both sides by -5.
x=\frac{9}{5}
Fraction \frac{-9}{-5} can be simplified to \frac{9}{5} by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.
