8x-12\left(2x-1\right)=6\left(3x-1\right)
Multiply both sides of the equation by 2.
8x-24x+12=6\left(3x-1\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply -12 by 2x-1.
-16x+12=6\left(3x-1\right)
Combine 8x and -24x to get -16x.
-16x+12=18x-6
Use the distributive property to multiply 6 by 3x-1.
-16x+12-18x=-6
Subtract 18x from both sides.
-34x+12=-6
Combine -16x and -18x to get -34x.
-34x=-6-12
Subtract 12 from both sides.
-34x=-18
Subtract 12 from -6 to get -18.
x=\frac{-18}{-34}
Divide both sides by -34.
x=\frac{9}{17}
Reduce the fraction \frac{-18}{-34} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out -2.
