Solve for x:

2 (3x - 9) = 18x

x = - 3/2

x = 3/2

x = 0

x = 6

6x-18=18x

-18=12x

-1.5=x

Remember yo can do anything to an equation as long as you do it to both sides

so

remember distributive property

a (b+c) = ab+ac

so first distribute

2 (3x) + 2 (-9) = 18x

6x-18=18x

minus 6x both sides

-18=12x

divide both sides by 12

-18/12=x

-9/6=x

-3/2=x

easier way is to first divide both sides by 2

x=-3/2
