36-4x+2x=33-30x-18
Multiply both sides of the equation by 12, the least common multiple of 3,6,4,2.
36-2x=33-30x-18
Combine -4x and 2x to get -2x.
36-2x=15-30x
Subtract 18 from 33 to get 15.
36-2x+30x=15
Add 30x to both sides.
36+28x=15
Combine -2x and 30x to get 28x.
28x=15-36
Subtract 36 from both sides.
28x=-21
Subtract 36 from 15 to get -21.
x=\frac{-21}{28}
Divide both sides by 28.
x=-\frac{3}{4}
Reduce the fraction \frac{-21}{28} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 7.
