Answer:


\large\boxed{x = 7}

Explanation:

3x - 2(x + 3) = 4x - 9 - x

Start by multiplying 2 by the values in the parenthesis

3x - 2x + 6 = 4x - 9 - x

Subtract 3x - 2x and 4x - x

x + 5 = 3x - 9

Add 9 to both sides of the equation

x + 14 = 3x

Subtract x from both sides of the equation

14 = 2x

Divide both sides of the equation by 2


\large\boxed{x = 7}

Hope this helps :)
