12-2\left(x-1\right)=2x+3-6x
Multiply both sides of the equation by 6, the least common multiple of 3,6.
12-2x+2=2x+3-6x
Use the distributive property to multiply -2 by x-1.
14-2x=2x+3-6x
Add 12 and 2 to get 14.
14-2x=-4x+3
Combine 2x and -6x to get -4x.
14-2x+4x=3
Add 4x to both sides.
14+2x=3
Combine -2x and 4x to get 2x.
2x=3-14
Subtract 14 from both sides.
2x=-11
Subtract 14 from 3 to get -11.
x=\frac{-11}{2}
Divide both sides by 2.
x=-\frac{11}{2}
Fraction \frac{-11}{2} can be rewritten as -\frac{11}{2} by extracting the negative sign.
