Let us solve the equation for x:

9 - x = -2(2x - 3)

Fisrt develop -2(2x - 3) :

-2*2x + (-2*-3) = -4x + 6

Now the equation is:

9 - x = -4x + 6

Subtract -9 in both sides and simplify

9 - x -9 = -4x + 6 - 9

-x = -4x -3

Add 4x in both sides

-x + 4x = -4x -3 +4x

3x = -3

To solve the x, divide by 3 both sides

3x /3= -3/3

x = -1
