Answer:

x = 0

Explanation:

For this problem, we will simply solve the equation by isolating the variable x, to find the value of x.

2(-6x - 4) + 3 = 3(3x - 3) + 4

2*(-6x) + 2*(-4) + 3 = 3*(3x) + 3*(-3) + 4

-12x + -8 + 3 = 9x + -9 + 4

-12x + -5 = 9x + -5

12x + -12x + -5 = 12x + 9x + -5

-5 = 21x + -5

5 + -5 = 21x + -5 + 5

0 = 21x

0 = x

Hence, in this equation, the value of x is 0.

Cheers.

Answer:

x = 0

Explanation:


2(-6x-4)+3=3(3x-3)+4\\\\-12x-8+3=9x-9+4\\\\-12x-5=9x-5\\\\-12x-5+5=9x-5+5\\\\-12x=9x\\\\-12x-9x=9x-9x\\\\-21x=0\\\\(-21x=0)/(21)\\\\ \boxed{x=0}

Hope this helps.
