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