Step-by-step explanation

In the question, we are given that the difference of three times a number and six is nine. Using the variable x, we can write the equation as:

Answer 1:


3x-6=9

We can then solve the equation below;


\begin{gathered} 3x-6=9 \\ 3x=9+6 \\ 3x=15 \\ x=(15)/(3) \\ x=5 \end{gathered}

Answer 2: x=5
