Question

Solve for x. 6(x – 1) = 9(x + 2)

Answer 1

I hope this helps you

Answer 2

First Reorder the terms: -6 + 6x = 9(2 + x) -6 + 6x = (2 * 9 + x * 9) -6 + 6x = (18 + 9x).

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-9x' to each side of the equation. -6 + 6x + -9x = 18 + 9x + -9x
Combine like terms: 6x + -9x = -3x -6 + -3x = 18 + 9x + -9x
Combine like terms again =): 9x + -9x = 0 -6 + -3x = 18 + 0 -6 + -3x = 18

Add '6' to each side of the equation. -6 + 6 + -3x = 18 + 6
Combine like terms again....: -6 + 6 = 0 0 + -3x = 18 + 6 -3x = 18 + 6

Last time I promise! Combine like terms: 18 + 6 = 24-3x = 24

Divide each side by '-3'. x = -8.

x = -8

Happy studying ^-^
