3x-12\left(\frac{2}{3}x-\left(\frac{1-x}{2}+1\right)\right)=9\left(1-x\right)
Multiply both sides of the equation by 12, the least common multiple of 4,3,2.
3x-12\left(\frac{2}{3}x-\frac{1-x}{2}-1\right)=9\left(1-x\right)
To find the opposite of \frac{1-x}{2}+1, find the opposite of each term.
3x-12\left(\frac{2}{3}x-\frac{1-x}{2}-1\right)=9-9x
Use the distributive property to multiply 9 by 1-x.
3x-12\left(\frac{2}{3}x-\left(\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{2}x\right)-1\right)=9-9x
Divide each term of 1-x by 2 to get \frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{2}x.
3x-12\left(\frac{2}{3}x-\frac{1}{2}-\left(-\frac{1}{2}x\right)-1\right)=9-9x
To find the opposite of \frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{2}x, find the opposite of each term.
3x-12\left(\frac{2}{3}x-\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}x-1\right)=9-9x
The opposite of -\frac{1}{2}x is \frac{1}{2}x.
3x-12\left(\frac{7}{6}x-\frac{1}{2}-1\right)=9-9x
Combine \frac{2}{3}x and \frac{1}{2}x to get \frac{7}{6}x.
3x-12\left(\frac{7}{6}x-\frac{1}{2}-\frac{2}{2}\right)=9-9x
Convert 1 to fraction \frac{2}{2}.
3x-12\left(\frac{7}{6}x+\frac{-1-2}{2}\right)=9-9x
Since -\frac{1}{2} and \frac{2}{2} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.
3x-12\left(\frac{7}{6}x-\frac{3}{2}\right)=9-9x
Subtract 2 from -1 to get -3.
3x-12\times \frac{7}{6}x-12\left(-\frac{3}{2}\right)=9-9x
Use the distributive property to multiply -12 by \frac{7}{6}x-\frac{3}{2}.
3x+\frac{-12\times 7}{6}x-12\left(-\frac{3}{2}\right)=9-9x
Express -12\times \frac{7}{6} as a single fraction.
3x+\frac{-84}{6}x-12\left(-\frac{3}{2}\right)=9-9x
Multiply -12 and 7 to get -84.
3x-14x-12\left(-\frac{3}{2}\right)=9-9x
Divide -84 by 6 to get -14.
3x-14x+\frac{-12\left(-3\right)}{2}=9-9x
Express -12\left(-\frac{3}{2}\right) as a single fraction.
3x-14x+\frac{36}{2}=9-9x
Multiply -12 and -3 to get 36.
3x-14x+18=9-9x
Divide 36 by 2 to get 18.
-11x+18=9-9x
Combine 3x and -14x to get -11x.
-11x+18+9x=9
Add 9x to both sides.
-2x+18=9
Combine -11x and 9x to get -2x.
-2x=9-18
Subtract 18 from both sides.
-2x=-9
Subtract 18 from 9 to get -9.
x=\frac{-9}{-2}
Divide both sides by -2.
x=\frac{9}{2}
Fraction \frac{-9}{-2} can be simplified to \frac{9}{2} by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.
