4(x-1)+6 = 3x+1-2x ... (In this problem, it's easiest to multiply out first)

4x-4+6 = 3x+1-2x ... (Add like terms on each side)

4x+2 = 1x+1 ... (Move unknowns to one side, knowns to the other)

4x-1x = 1-2 ... (Simplify)

3x = -1 ... (Divide each side by 3)

x = -1/3

Check your answer:
4((-1/3)-1)+6 = 3(-1/3)+1-2(-1/3)
2/3 = 2/3
