48\left(\frac{x-1}{2}-2x-1\right)-\left(13x-12\right)-4\left(3x-2\right)+96x=48
Multiply both sides of the equation by 24, the least common multiple of 2,24,6.
48\times \frac{x-1}{2}-96x-48-\left(13x-12\right)-4\left(3x-2\right)+96x=48
Use the distributive property to multiply 48 by \frac{x-1}{2}-2x-1.
24\left(x-1\right)-96x-48-\left(13x-12\right)-4\left(3x-2\right)+96x=48
Cancel out 2, the greatest common factor in 48 and 2.
24x-24-96x-48-\left(13x-12\right)-4\left(3x-2\right)+96x=48
Use the distributive property to multiply 24 by x-1.
-72x-24-48-\left(13x-12\right)-4\left(3x-2\right)+96x=48
Combine 24x and -96x to get -72x.
-72x-72-\left(13x-12\right)-4\left(3x-2\right)+96x=48
Subtract 48 from -24 to get -72.
-72x-72-13x-\left(-12\right)-4\left(3x-2\right)+96x=48
To find the opposite of 13x-12, find the opposite of each term.
-72x-72-13x+12-4\left(3x-2\right)+96x=48
The opposite of -12 is 12.
-85x-72+12-4\left(3x-2\right)+96x=48
Combine -72x and -13x to get -85x.
-85x-60-4\left(3x-2\right)+96x=48
Add -72 and 12 to get -60.
-85x-60-12x+8+96x=48
Use the distributive property to multiply -4 by 3x-2.
-97x-60+8+96x=48
Combine -85x and -12x to get -97x.
-97x-52+96x=48
Add -60 and 8 to get -52.
-x-52=48
Combine -97x and 96x to get -x.
-x=48+52
Add 52 to both sides.
-x=100
Add 48 and 52 to get 100.
x=-100
Multiply both sides by -1.
