1+3x\times 2=24x
Variable x cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 3x.
1+6x=24x
Multiply 3 and 2 to get 6.
1+6x-24x=0
Subtract 24x from both sides.
1-18x=0
Combine 6x and -24x to get -18x.
-18x=-1
Subtract 1 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
x=\frac{-1}{-18}
Divide both sides by -18.
x=\frac{1}{18}
Fraction \frac{-1}{-18} can be simplified to \frac{1}{18} by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.
