Question

Solve for x. 6(x – 1) = 9(x + 2) x = –8 x = –3 x = 3 x = 8

Answer 1

x = - 8

Explanation:

Given

6(x - 1) = 9(x + 2) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides

6x - 6 = 9x + 18 ( subtract 9x from both sides )

- 3x - 6 = 18 ( add 6 to both sides )

- 3x = 24 ( divide both sides by - 3 )

x = - 8
