Answer:

9

Explanation:

To solve this, we want to find when the expressions are equal. To do this, set the expressions equal to each other

2x+3=3x-6

Now, we need to solve for x. First, move all the numbers to one side of the equation, and all of the variables to the other

2x+3=3x-6

Subtract 2x from both sides

2x-2x+3=3x-2x-6

3=x-6

Add 6 to both sides

3+6=x-6+6

9=x

Now, x is by itself, and we know that 9 is the value of x that makes the expressions have the same value
