-2+2\left(3x-1\right)\left(-\frac{3}{2}\right)=2\times 2
Variable x cannot be equal to \frac{1}{3} since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 2\left(3x-1\right), the least common multiple of 1-3x^{1},2,3x-1.
-2-3\left(3x-1\right)=2\times 2
Multiply 2 and -\frac{3}{2} to get -3.
-2-9x+3=2\times 2
Use the distributive property to multiply -3 by 3x-1.
1-9x=2\times 2
Add -2 and 3 to get 1.
1-9x=4
Multiply 2 and 2 to get 4.
-9x=4-1
Subtract 1 from both sides.
-9x=3
Subtract 1 from 4 to get 3.
x=\frac{3}{-9}
Divide both sides by -9.
x=-\frac{1}{3}
Reduce the fraction \frac{3}{-9} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 3.
