Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Anything muliplied by zero end up equalling zero. So with this in mind we can put 0 in for x and find out what each eqautian equals.

2(0) + 6(0) = 0; Once we multiply both sides we end up adding 0 and 0, so it equals 0

9(0) = 0

Since, 0 = 0 they are both equal.

Hope this helps!
