2\left(x-1\right)-6=3\left(4-x\right)
Multiply both sides of the equation by 6, the least common multiple of 3,2.
2x-2-6=3\left(4-x\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by x-1.
2x-8=3\left(4-x\right)
Subtract 6 from -2 to get -8.
2x-8=12-3x
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by 4-x.
2x-8+3x=12
Add 3x to both sides.
5x-8=12
Combine 2x and 3x to get 5x.
5x=12+8
Add 8 to both sides.
5x=20
Add 12 and 8 to get 20.
x=\frac{20}{5}
Divide both sides by 5.
x=4
Divide 20 by 5 to get 4.
