4\times 5x-3\left(x-2\right)=27-6\left(x-\frac{2x-1}{3}\right)
Multiply both sides of the equation by 12, the least common multiple of 3,4,2.
20x-3\left(x-2\right)=27-6\left(x-\frac{2x-1}{3}\right)
Multiply 4 and 5 to get 20.
20x-3x+6=27-6\left(x-\frac{2x-1}{3}\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply -3 by x-2.
17x+6=27-6\left(x-\frac{2x-1}{3}\right)
Combine 20x and -3x to get 17x.
17x+6=27-6\left(x-\left(\frac{2}{3}x-\frac{1}{3}\right)\right)
Divide each term of 2x-1 by 3 to get \frac{2}{3}x-\frac{1}{3}.
17x+6=27-6\left(x-\frac{2}{3}x-\left(-\frac{1}{3}\right)\right)
To find the opposite of \frac{2}{3}x-\frac{1}{3}, find the opposite of each term.
17x+6=27-6\left(x-\frac{2}{3}x+\frac{1}{3}\right)
The opposite of -\frac{1}{3} is \frac{1}{3}.
17x+6=27-6\left(\frac{1}{3}x+\frac{1}{3}\right)
Combine x and -\frac{2}{3}x to get \frac{1}{3}x.
17x+6=27-6\times \frac{1}{3}x-6\times \frac{1}{3}
Use the distributive property to multiply -6 by \frac{1}{3}x+\frac{1}{3}.
17x+6=27+\frac{-6}{3}x-6\times \frac{1}{3}
Multiply -6 and \frac{1}{3} to get \frac{-6}{3}.
17x+6=27-2x-6\times \frac{1}{3}
Divide -6 by 3 to get -2.
17x+6=27-2x+\frac{-6}{3}
Multiply -6 and \frac{1}{3} to get \frac{-6}{3}.
17x+6=27-2x-2
Divide -6 by 3 to get -2.
17x+6=25-2x
Subtract 2 from 27 to get 25.
17x+6+2x=25
Add 2x to both sides.
19x+6=25
Combine 17x and 2x to get 19x.
19x=25-6
Subtract 6 from both sides.
19x=19
Subtract 6 from 25 to get 19.
x=\frac{19}{19}
Divide both sides by 19.
x=1
Divide 19 by 19 to get 1.
