2\left(1-2x\right)-9x=18
Multiply both sides of the equation by 3.
2-4x-9x=18
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by 1-2x.
2-13x=18
Combine -4x and -9x to get -13x.
-13x=18-2
Subtract 2 from both sides.
-13x=16
Subtract 2 from 18 to get 16.
x=\frac{16}{-13}
Divide both sides by -13.
x=-\frac{16}{13}
Fraction \frac{16}{-13} can be rewritten as -\frac{16}{13} by extracting the negative sign.
