6x-\left(x-2\right)+12=9\left(2-2x\right)
Multiply both sides of the equation by 3.
6x-x-\left(-2\right)+12=9\left(2-2x\right)
To find the opposite of x-2, find the opposite of each term.
6x-x+2+12=9\left(2-2x\right)
The opposite of -2 is 2.
5x+2+12=9\left(2-2x\right)
Combine 6x and -x to get 5x.
5x+14=9\left(2-2x\right)
Add 2 and 12 to get 14.
5x+14=18-18x
Use the distributive property to multiply 9 by 2-2x.
5x+14+18x=18
Add 18x to both sides.
23x+14=18
Combine 5x and 18x to get 23x.
23x=18-14
Subtract 14 from both sides.
23x=4
Subtract 14 from 18 to get 4.
x=\frac{4}{23}
Divide both sides by 23.
