12x-8-\left(3-2x\right)=1-2\left(3x-5\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by 6x-4.
12x-8-3-\left(-2x\right)=1-2\left(3x-5\right)
To find the opposite of 3-2x, find the opposite of each term.
12x-8-3+2x=1-2\left(3x-5\right)
The opposite of -2x is 2x.
12x-11+2x=1-2\left(3x-5\right)
Subtract 3 from -8 to get -11.
14x-11=1-2\left(3x-5\right)
Combine 12x and 2x to get 14x.
14x-11=1-6x+10
Use the distributive property to multiply -2 by 3x-5.
14x-11=11-6x
Add 1 and 10 to get 11.
14x-11+6x=11
Add 6x to both sides.
20x-11=11
Combine 14x and 6x to get 20x.
20x=11+11
Add 11 to both sides.
20x=22
Add 11 and 11 to get 22.
x=\frac{22}{20}
Divide both sides by 20.
x=\frac{11}{10}
Reduce the fraction \frac{22}{20} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.
