6\left(3x+1\right)-18=18+6\left(2x+5\right)-60
Multiply both sides of the equation by 6, the least common multiple of 2,3.
18x+6-18=18+6\left(2x+5\right)-60
Use the distributive property to multiply 6 by 3x+1.
18x-12=18+6\left(2x+5\right)-60
Subtract 18 from 6 to get -12.
18x-12=18+12x+30-60
Use the distributive property to multiply 6 by 2x+5.
18x-12=48+12x-60
Add 18 and 30 to get 48.
18x-12=-12+12x
Subtract 60 from 48 to get -12.
18x-12-12x=-12
Subtract 12x from both sides.
6x-12=-12
Combine 18x and -12x to get 6x.
6x=-12+12
Add 12 to both sides.
6x=0
Add -12 and 12 to get 0.
x=0
Product of two numbers is equal to 0 if at least one of them is 0. Since 6 is not equal to 0, x must be equal to 0.
