0=x\times 3-\left(2x-1\right)
Variable x cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by x.
0=x\times 3-2x-\left(-1\right)
To find the opposite of 2x-1, find the opposite of each term.
0=x\times 3-2x+1
The opposite of -1 is 1.
0=x+1
Combine x\times 3 and -2x to get x.
x+1=0
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
x=-1
Subtract 1 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
