Jessica Mcneil · Answer 1

6 (x - 1) = 9 (x + 2) ... first, we distribute thru the parenthesis

6x - 6 = 9x + 18 ... subtract 9x from both sides, add 6 to both sides

6x - 9x = 18 + 6 ... simplify

-3x = 24 ... divide both sides by - 3

x = - 24/3

x = - 8 <==

Solve for x.6 (x - 1) = 9 (x + 2)x = - 8x = - 3x = 3x = 8

Solve for x.

6 (x - 1) = 9 (x + 2)

x = - 8

x = - 3
