2x+2\left(-\frac{1}{3}\right)+\frac{7}{6}-x=3\left(\frac{1}{2}-x\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by x-\frac{1}{3}.
2x+\frac{2\left(-1\right)}{3}+\frac{7}{6}-x=3\left(\frac{1}{2}-x\right)
Express 2\left(-\frac{1}{3}\right) as a single fraction.
2x+\frac{-2}{3}+\frac{7}{6}-x=3\left(\frac{1}{2}-x\right)
Multiply 2 and -1 to get -2.
2x-\frac{2}{3}+\frac{7}{6}-x=3\left(\frac{1}{2}-x\right)
Fraction \frac{-2}{3} can be rewritten as -\frac{2}{3} by extracting the negative sign.
2x-\frac{4}{6}+\frac{7}{6}-x=3\left(\frac{1}{2}-x\right)
Least common multiple of 3 and 6 is 6. Convert -\frac{2}{3} and \frac{7}{6} to fractions with denominator 6.
2x+\frac{-4+7}{6}-x=3\left(\frac{1}{2}-x\right)
Since -\frac{4}{6} and \frac{7}{6} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.
2x+\frac{3}{6}-x=3\left(\frac{1}{2}-x\right)
Add -4 and 7 to get 3.
2x+\frac{1}{2}-x=3\left(\frac{1}{2}-x\right)
Reduce the fraction \frac{3}{6} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 3.
x+\frac{1}{2}=3\left(\frac{1}{2}-x\right)
Combine 2x and -x to get x.
x+\frac{1}{2}=3\times \frac{1}{2}-3x
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by \frac{1}{2}-x.
x+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{3}{2}-3x
Multiply 3 and \frac{1}{2} to get \frac{3}{2}.
x+\frac{1}{2}+3x=\frac{3}{2}
Add 3x to both sides.
4x+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{3}{2}
Combine x and 3x to get 4x.
4x=\frac{3}{2}-\frac{1}{2}
Subtract \frac{1}{2} from both sides.
4x=\frac{3-1}{2}
Since \frac{3}{2} and \frac{1}{2} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.
4x=\frac{2}{2}
Subtract 1 from 3 to get 2.
4x=1
Divide 2 by 2 to get 1.
x=\frac{1}{4}
Divide both sides by 4.
