3\left(x-1\right)=2\times 4x+6
Multiply both sides of the equation by 6, the least common multiple of 2,3.
3x-3=2\times 4x+6
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by x-1.
3x-3=8x+6
Multiply 2 and 4 to get 8.
3x-3-8x=6
Subtract 8x from both sides.
-5x-3=6
Combine 3x and -8x to get -5x.
-5x=6+3
Add 3 to both sides.
-5x=9
Add 6 and 3 to get 9.
x=\frac{9}{-5}
Divide both sides by -5.
x=-\frac{9}{5}
Fraction \frac{9}{-5} can be rewritten as -\frac{9}{5} by extracting the negative sign.
