Answer:

(B) -1

Explanation:

First, simplify the equation, and you will get 3x - 9 + 2x = -9 - x - 6. Then combine like terms which gets you 5x - 9 = -x - 15. Then by adding 9 to both sides, this will then make the equation 5x = -x - 6. After doing do, at x to both sides which will get you 6x = -6. Finally, divide both sides by 6 and you will find that x = -1. Hope this helps!

Answer:

B or x = - 1

Explanation:

Equation

6(0.5x - 1.5) + 2x =-9 - (x+ 6) Remove the Brackets

x = -1

Solution

6*0.5x - 6*1.5 +2x = -9 - x - 6) Combine like terms. Notice - (x+ 6) becomes -x -6. Collect like terms on both sides.

3x - 9 + 2x = -9 -x-6

3x+2x - 9 = -9 - 6 - x Combine.

5x - 9 = - 15 - x Add 9 to both sides

5x - 9 + 9 = -15+9 -x Combine

5x = -6 - x Add x to both sides

6x = - 6 - x + x

6x = - 6 Divide both sides by 6

6x/6 = - 6/6

x = - 1
