18x+3\left(x-1\right)=12-2\left(2x-1\right)
Multiply both sides of the equation by 6, the least common multiple of 2,3.
18x+3x-3=12-2\left(2x-1\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by x-1.
21x-3=12-2\left(2x-1\right)
Combine 18x and 3x to get 21x.
21x-3=12-4x+2
Use the distributive property to multiply -2 by 2x-1.
21x-3=14-4x
Add 12 and 2 to get 14.
21x-3+4x=14
Add 4x to both sides.
25x-3=14
Combine 21x and 4x to get 25x.
25x=14+3
Add 3 to both sides.
25x=17
Add 14 and 3 to get 17.
x=\frac{17}{25}
Divide both sides by 25.
