| 3 | ( | 2 | x | + | 1 | ) | = | 2 | ( | 4 | x | − | 3 | ) |
| Left side of the equation = | 3 | × | 2 | x | + | 3 | × | 1 |
| = | 6 | x | + | 3 |
| 6 | x | + | 3 | = | 2 | ( | 4 | x | − | 3 | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 2 | × | 4 | x | − | 2 | × | 3 |
| = | 8 | x | − | 6 |
| 6 | x | + | 3 | = | 8 | x | − | 6 |
| 6 | x | − | 8 | x | = | - | 6 | − | 3 |
| - | 2 | x | = | - | 6 | − | 3 |
| - | 2 | x | = | - | 9 |
| 9 | = | 2 | x |
| 2 | x | = | 9 |
| x | = | 9 | ÷ | 2 |
| = | 9 | × | 1 2 |
| x | = | 9 2 |
| x | = | 4.5 |
