x-1=x+\left(x-2\right)\times 2
Variable x cannot be equal to 2 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by x-2.
x-1=x+2x-4
Use the distributive property to multiply x-2 by 2.
x-1=3x-4
Combine x and 2x to get 3x.
x-1-3x=-4
Subtract 3x from both sides.
-2x-1=-4
Combine x and -3x to get -2x.
-2x=-4+1
Add 1 to both sides.
-2x=-3
Add -4 and 1 to get -3.
x=\frac{-3}{-2}
Divide both sides by -2.
x=\frac{3}{2}
Fraction \frac{-3}{-2} can be simplified to \frac{3}{2} by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.
