Question

Solve for x.

6(x – 1) = 9(x + 2)

Answer 1

[ Answer ]

`\boxed{\bold{X \ = \ -8}}`

[ Explanation ]

• Solve For X: 6(x - 1) = 9(x + 2)

------------------------------

• Expand 6(x - 1): 6x - 6

• Expand 9(x + 2): 9x + 18

6x - 6 = 9x + 18

• Add 6 To Both Sides

6x - 6 + 6 = 9x + 18 + 6

• Simplify

6x = 9x + 24

• Subtract 9x From Both Sides

6x - 9x = 9x + 24 - 9x

• Simplify

-3x = 24

• Divide Both Sides By -3

`(-3x)/(-3)` =
`(24)/(-3)`

• Simplify

X = -8

`\boxed{\bold{[] \ Eclipsed \ []}}}`

Answer 2

x = -8
