36x-2\times 3-18x+3=198-9\times 2x
Multiply both sides of the equation by 18, the least common multiple of 9,6,2.
36x-6-18x+3=198-9\times 2x
Multiply -2 and 3 to get -6.
18x-6+3=198-9\times 2x
Combine 36x and -18x to get 18x.
18x-3=198-9\times 2x
Add -6 and 3 to get -3.
18x-3=198-18x
Multiply -9 and 2 to get -18.
18x-3+18x=198
Add 18x to both sides.
36x-3=198
Combine 18x and 18x to get 36x.
36x=198+3
Add 3 to both sides.
36x=201
Add 198 and 3 to get 201.
x=\frac{201}{36}
Divide both sides by 36.
x=\frac{67}{12}
Reduce the fraction \frac{201}{36} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 3.
