2\left(x-2\right)>3\left(3x+1\right)
Multiply both sides of the equation by 6, the least common multiple of 3,2. Since 6 is positive, the inequality direction remains the same.
2x-4>3\left(3x+1\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by x-2.
2x-4>9x+3
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by 3x+1.
2x-4-9x>3
Subtract 9x from both sides.
-7x-4>3
Combine 2x and -9x to get -7x.
-7x>3+4
Add 4 to both sides.
-7x>7
Add 3 and 4 to get 7.
x<\frac{7}{-7}
Divide both sides by -7. Since -7 is negative, the inequality direction is changed.
x<-1
Divide 7 by -7 to get -1.
