6x+3\left(x+1\right)=6x_{3}-2\left(x+2\right)
Multiply both sides of the equation by 6, the least common multiple of 2,3.
6x+3x+3=6x_{3}-2\left(x+2\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by x+1.
9x+3=6x_{3}-2\left(x+2\right)
Combine 6x and 3x to get 9x.
9x+3=6x_{3}-2x-4
Use the distributive property to multiply -2 by x+2.
9x+3+2x=6x_{3}-4
Add 2x to both sides.
11x+3=6x_{3}-4
Combine 9x and 2x to get 11x.
11x=6x_{3}-4-3
Subtract 3 from both sides.
11x=6x_{3}-7
Subtract 3 from -4 to get -7.
\frac{11x}{11}=\frac{6x_{3}-7}{11}
Divide both sides by 11.
x=\frac{6x_{3}-7}{11}
Dividing by 11 undoes the multiplication by 11.
6x+3\left(x+1\right)=6x_{3}-2\left(x+2\right)
Multiply both sides of the equation by 6, the least common multiple of 2,3.
6x+3x+3=6x_{3}-2\left(x+2\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by x+1.
9x+3=6x_{3}-2\left(x+2\right)
Combine 6x and 3x to get 9x.
9x+3=6x_{3}-2x-4
Use the distributive property to multiply -2 by x+2.
6x_{3}-2x-4=9x+3
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
6x_{3}-4=9x+3+2x
Add 2x to both sides.
6x_{3}-4=11x+3
Combine 9x and 2x to get 11x.
6x_{3}=11x+3+4
Add 4 to both sides.
6x_{3}=11x+7
Add 3 and 4 to get 7.
\frac{6x_{3}}{6}=\frac{11x+7}{6}
Divide both sides by 6.
x_{3}=\frac{11x+7}{6}
Dividing by 6 undoes the multiplication by 6.
