The sum of the variables in the equation is 8.5

To obtain 'a' :

Factorize 6 - 2x such that it has a factor of 2x - 6

To do this , multiply (6 - 2x) by -1

-1 * (6 - 2x) = 2x - 6

Hence, 'a' = -1

To get the value of 'b' :

By multiplying the numerator and denominator by -1 , we get rid of -1 in the denominator,

Now we have :

3x/(2x - 6) + 9/-1(2x - 6) = 3x/(2x - 6) + (-9)/(2x - 6)

Hence, b = -9

To obtain 'c'

3x/(2x - 6) + (-9)/(2x - 6)

L.C.M is (2x - 6)

3x - 9 /2x - 6

Hence, c = 9

To obtain 'd', 'e' and 'f' :

Factorize 3x - 9 /2x - 6

3(x - 3)/2(x - 3)

comparing the expression :

d = 3 ; e = 3 ; f = 2

To obtain 'g' :

3(x - 3)/2(x - 3) = 3/2

Hence, g = 3/2

Sum of the variables:

-1 + (-9) + 9 + 3 + 3 + 2 + 3/2

-1 - 9 + 9 + 3 + 3 + 2 + 3/2

= 8.5
