Answer:

21.

Explanation:


(1)/(3) (x+6)=(1)/(2) (x-3);\\\\6*(1)/(3) (x+6)=6*(1)/(2) (x-3);\\2(x+6)=3(x-3);\\2x+12=3x-9;\\x=21.

Answer:

x = –24


(1)/(3(x + 6)) = (1)/(2(x - 3)) \\ \\ ⇒ (1)/(3x + 18) = (1)/(2x - 6) \\ \\ ⇒3x + 18 = 2x - 6 \: \\ \\ ⇒3x - 2x = - 6 - 18 \\ \\ ⇒x = - 24 \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \:
