2\left(1-x\right)=3x-3\times 3
Variable x cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 3x, the least common multiple of 3x,x.
2-2x=3x-3\times 3
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by 1-x.
2-2x=3x-9
Multiply -3 and 3 to get -9.
2-2x-3x=-9
Subtract 3x from both sides.
2-5x=-9
Combine -2x and -3x to get -5x.
-5x=-9-2
Subtract 2 from both sides.
-5x=-11
Subtract 2 from -9 to get -11.
x=\frac{-11}{-5}
Divide both sides by -5.
x=\frac{11}{5}
Fraction \frac{-11}{-5} can be simplified to \frac{11}{5} by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.
