Answer:

x = - 1 / 24

Explanation:

-6 ( 6x - 1 ) + 9 = 36x + 18

First, solve the brackets.

-36x + 6 + 9 = 36x + 18

Then, subtract 36x by both sides.

-36x - 36x + 6 + 9 = 18

-72x + 15 = 18

Now, Subtract 15 by both sides.

-72x = 18 - 15

-72x = 3

Now divide both sides -72 by both sides.

x = - 3 / 72

x = - 1 / 24
