the answer is 1/3(6x-9)=x-5

One solution was found :

x = -2

Rearrange:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

1/3*(6*x-9)-(x-5)=0

Step by step solution :

Step 1 :

1 Simplify — 3

Equation at the end of step 1 :

1 (— • (6x - 9)) - (x - 5) = 0 3

Step 2 :

Step 3 :

Pulling out like terms :

3.1 Pull out like factors :

6x - 9 = 3 • (2x - 3)

Equation at the end of step 3 :

(2x - 3) - (x - 5) = 0

Step 4 :

Equation at the end of step 4 :

x + 2 = 0

Step 5 :

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

5.1 Solve : x+2 = 0

Subtract 2 from both sides of the equation :
x = -2

One solution was found :

x = -2
