x=3-9

x=-6

Answer: x= -6

Let’s first rewrite the equation

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

Now now distribute the -1•2x and the -1•-3

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

Let’s now combine the like terms on the left side

x+3=2x+9

To get x alone on the left side, subtract it on both sides

3=x+9

To get your final answer, subtract 9 on both sides

-6=x

And that’s your answer for x! Hope this helps comment below for more questions :)
