\boxed{-13}

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.


2(3x+6)=3(x-9)

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.


2(3x+6)=3(x-9)


(2) (3x) + (2) (6) = (3)(^(x)) + (3) (-9) (Distribute)


6x + 12 = 3x + -27


6x + 12 = 3x -27

Step 2: Subtract 3x from both sides.


6x + 12 - 3x = 3x - 27 - 3x\\3x + 12 = -27

Step 3: Subtract 12 from both sides.


3x + 12 - 12 = -27 - 12\\3x = -39

Step 4: Divide both sides by 3.


(3x)/(3) = (-39)/(3)\\x = -13

Answer:

-13

Explanation:

See steps below:

  • 2(3x+6)=3(x-9) ⇒ distribution
  • 6x + 12 = 3x - 27 ⇒ grouping like terms
  • 6x - 3x = -27 - 12 ⇒ simplifying
  • 3x = -39
  • x= -39/3
  • x = -13 ⇒ answer
