2\left(-2\right)\left(x-3\right)+3\left(x+3\right)=2+10x+2\left(x-4\right)+2x
Multiply both sides of the equation by 14, the least common multiple of 7,14.
-4\left(x-3\right)+3\left(x+3\right)=2+10x+2\left(x-4\right)+2x
Multiply 2 and -2 to get -4.
-4x+12+3\left(x+3\right)=2+10x+2\left(x-4\right)+2x
Use the distributive property to multiply -4 by x-3.
-4x+12+3x+9=2+10x+2\left(x-4\right)+2x
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by x+3.
-x+12+9=2+10x+2\left(x-4\right)+2x
Combine -4x and 3x to get -x.
-x+21=2+10x+2\left(x-4\right)+2x
Add 12 and 9 to get 21.
-x+21=2+10x+2x-8+2x
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by x-4.
-x+21=2+12x-8+2x
Combine 10x and 2x to get 12x.
-x+21=-6+12x+2x
Subtract 8 from 2 to get -6.
-x+21=-6+14x
Combine 12x and 2x to get 14x.
-x+21-14x=-6
Subtract 14x from both sides.
-15x+21=-6
Combine -x and -14x to get -15x.
-15x=-6-21
Subtract 21 from both sides.
-15x=-27
Subtract 21 from -6 to get -27.
x=\frac{-27}{-15}
Divide both sides by -15.
x=\frac{9}{5}
Reduce the fraction \frac{-27}{-15} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out -3.
