Use the distributive property to multiply 12 by 2x-1.
24x-12=3x+6
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by x+2.
24x-12-3x=6
Subtract 3x from both sides.
21x-12=6
Combine 24x and -3x to get 21x.
21x=6+12
Add 12 to both sides.
21x=18
Add 6 and 12 to get 18.
x=\frac{18}{21}
Divide both sides by 21.
x=\frac{6}{7}
Reduce the fraction \frac{18}{21} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 3.
