You can put this solution on YOUR website!
First you need to distribute 2(3x-1) and you end up with 6x-2.
Then you add the -2x from the original problem, and you get 6x-2-2x.
Now you add the common terms, 6x and -2x.
The new equation is 4x-2=0.
Now add 2 to both sides. You get 4x=2.
Lastly, divide both sides by four to get x=1/2.
