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
