Evaluate
(2×3x)−1=2x×2
Multiply the terms
32x−1=2x×2
Multiply the terms
More Steps

Multiply the terms
2x×2
Cancel out the common factor 2
x×1
Multiply the terms
x
32x−1=x
Multiply both sides of the equation by LCD
(32x−1)×3=x×3
Simplify the equation
More Steps

Evaluate
(32x−1)×3
Apply the distributive property
32x×3−3
Simplify
2x−3
2x−3=x×3
Use the commutative property to reorder the terms
2x−3=3x
Move the variable to the left side
2x−3−3x=0
Subtract the terms

Evaluate
2x−3x
Collect like terms by calculating the sum or difference of their coefficients
(2−3)x
Subtract the numbers
−x
−x−3=0
Move the constant to the right side
−x=0+3
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−x=3
