3x-9x+18=2\left(x-13\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply -9 by x-2.
-6x+18=2\left(x-13\right)
Combine 3x and -9x to get -6x.
-6x+18=2x-26
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by x-13.
-6x+18-2x=-26
Subtract 2x from both sides.
-8x+18=-26
Combine -6x and -2x to get -8x.
-8x=-26-18
Subtract 18 from both sides.
-8x=-44
