9\left(3-x\right)-6\times 2\left(x-2\right)=72-2\times 7\left(2x-1\right)
Multiply both sides of the equation by 18, the least common multiple of 2,3,9.
27-9x-6\times 2\left(x-2\right)=72-2\times 7\left(2x-1\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 9 by 3-x.
27-9x-12\left(x-2\right)=72-2\times 7\left(2x-1\right)
Multiply -6 and 2 to get -12.
27-9x-12x+24=72-2\times 7\left(2x-1\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply -12 by x-2.
27-21x+24=72-2\times 7\left(2x-1\right)
Combine -9x and -12x to get -21x.
51-21x=72-2\times 7\left(2x-1\right)
Add 27 and 24 to get 51.
51-21x=72-14\left(2x-1\right)
Multiply -2 and 7 to get -14.
51-21x=72-28x+14
Use the distributive property to multiply -14 by 2x-1.
51-21x=86-28x
Add 72 and 14 to get 86.
51-21x+28x=86
Add 28x to both sides.
51+7x=86
Combine -21x and 28x to get 7x.
7x=86-51
Subtract 51 from both sides.
7x=35
Subtract 51 from 86 to get 35.
x=\frac{35}{7}
Divide both sides by 7.
x=5
Divide 35 by 7 to get 5.
