Answer:

-3

Explanation:

9(2x + 5) + 6 = 6 + 3x

Do the distributive property first.

18x + 45 + 6 = 6 + 3x

Simplify the left side by adding like terms.

18x + 51 = 6 + 3x

Move the variables (x) to one side of the equation. I'm going to move the 3x to the left side by subtracting.

18x - 3x + 51 = 6

15x + 51 = 6

Move the constants to the others side. I'm going to subtract 51 from both sides.

15x + 51 - 51 = 6 - 51

15x = -45

Divide both sides by 15

15x/15 = -45/15

x = -3

Answer:

x = -3

Explanation:

[Given]

9(2x + 5) + 6 = 6 + 3x

[Distrbute the 9]

18x + 45 + 6 = 6 + 3x

[Combine like terms on the left using addition]

18x + 51 = 6 + 3x

[Subtract 3x from both sides]

15x +51 = 6

[Subtract 51 from both sides to isolate the variable]

15x = -45

[Divide both sides by 15]

x = -3

Have a nice day!

I hope this is what you are looking for, but if not - comment! I will edit and update my answer accordingly. (ノ^∇^)
