36-3\left(x-1\right)=3\left(3-x\right)+2\left(x-2\right)
Multiply both sides of the equation by 6, the least common multiple of 2,3.
36-3x+3=3\left(3-x\right)+2\left(x-2\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply -3 by x-1.
39-3x=3\left(3-x\right)+2\left(x-2\right)
Add 36 and 3 to get 39.
39-3x=9-3x+2\left(x-2\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by 3-x.
39-3x=9-3x+2x-4
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by x-2.
39-3x=9-x-4
Combine -3x and 2x to get -x.
39-3x=5-x
Subtract 4 from 9 to get 5.
39-3x+x=5
Add x to both sides.
39-2x=5
Combine -3x and x to get -2x.
-2x=5-39
Subtract 39 from both sides.
-2x=-34
Subtract 39 from 5 to get -34.
x=\frac{-34}{-2}
Divide both sides by -2.
x=17
Divide -34 by -2 to get 17.
