To solve for x in the given equation;


6(3-3x)=4(3x-2)

Firstly, let's expand the brackets.


\begin{gathered} 6(3)-6(3x)=4(3x)-4(2) \\ 18-18x=12x-8 \end{gathered}

Then let's add 18x to both sides;


\begin{gathered} 18-18x+18x=12x+18x-8 \\ 18=30x-8 \end{gathered}

then add 8 to both sides;


\begin{gathered} 18+8=30x-8+8 \\ 26=30x \end{gathered}

then divide both sides by 30.


\begin{gathered} (26)/(30)=(30x)/(30) \\ (26)/(30)=x \\ x\text{ = }(26)/(30)=(13)/(15) \\ x=(13)/(15) \end{gathered}

The solution to the given equation is;


x=(13)/(15)
