Answer:

x = -3/7

Explanation:

We are given the following equation for which we have to solve for x:


3(3x - 1) + 2(3 - x) = 0

So we will start by expanding the equation by multiplying the common factor with the brackets to get:


9x-3+6-2x=0

Arranging the like terms together (variables on one side of the equation and constants on the other side) to get:


9x-2x=3-6\\\\7x=-3\\\\x=-(3)/(7)

Therefore, x = -3/7.
