2\times 2x-5x=24-3\left(x-1\right)
Multiply both sides of the equation by 6, the least common multiple of 3,6,2.
4x-5x=24-3\left(x-1\right)
Multiply 2 and 2 to get 4.
-x=24-3\left(x-1\right)
Combine 4x and -5x to get -x.
-x=24-3x+3
Use the distributive property to multiply -3 by x-1.
-x=27-3x
Add 24 and 3 to get 27.
-x+3x=27
Add 3x to both sides.
2x=27
Combine -x and 3x to get 2x.
x=\frac{27}{2}
Divide both sides by 2.
