Answer:

x = 6

Explanation:

First, we need to cross multiply on both sides, which gives us:

9 * (5x - 6) = 27 * (2 + x)

45x - 54 = 54 + 27x

Now, we want to isolate x on either side.

We can substract 54 from both sides:

(45x - 54 = 54 + 27x) - 54

45x - 108 = 27x

We then subtract 45 from both sides:

(45x - 108 = 27x) - 45

-108 = -18x

Finally, we divide both sides by -18:

(-108 = -18x) / -18

6 = x
