Answer:

36/5

Explanation:

x/3 + 6 -2x = -6

multiply the whole equation by 3 to get rid of the denominator of the first x term.

x+18-6x = -18

move x terms to one side and numerical terms to the other, subtract 18 from both sides in this case

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

x-6x = -36

simplify

-5x = -36

divide both sides by -5 to isolate x

x = -36/-5

=36/5
