6+18\left(\frac{x}{2}-1\right)=12\left(x-1\right)+2-6x
Multiply both sides of the equation by 6, the least common multiple of 2,3.
6+18\times \frac{x}{2}-18=12\left(x-1\right)+2-6x
Use the distributive property to multiply 18 by \frac{x}{2}-1.
6+9x-18=12\left(x-1\right)+2-6x
Cancel out 2, the greatest common factor in 18 and 2.
-12+9x=12\left(x-1\right)+2-6x
Subtract 18 from 6 to get -12.
-12+9x=12x-12+2-6x
Use the distributive property to multiply 12 by x-1.
-12+9x=12x-10-6x
Add -12 and 2 to get -10.
-12+9x=6x-10
Combine 12x and -6x to get 6x.
-12+9x-6x=-10
Subtract 6x from both sides.
-12+3x=-10
Combine 9x and -6x to get 3x.
3x=-10+12
Add 12 to both sides.
3x=2
Add -10 and 12 to get 2.
x=\frac{2}{3}
Divide both sides by 3.
