Answer:

False

Explanation:

This is false because:

1) In order to solve this, we cam use the addition property of equality

2) First, you can add 6 to -6 and 9

New Equation: 2x = 15

3) Now divide 2 with 2 and 15

New Equation: x = 7.5

You can also check by inserting 8 into the equation.

2(8) - 6 = 9

16 - 6 = 9, this is not true.

Therefore, this statement is false. x = 7.5

Hope this helps! :D
