Answer:
x = -6
Step-by-step explanation:
-2/3x + 9 = 4/3x - 3
First we need to simplify to where we have x on one side and a constant (number not connected to a variable) on the other side.
Subtract 4/3x from both sides:
-2/3x + 9 - 4/3x = -3
-6/3x + 9 = -3
Now subtract 9 from both sides:
-6/3x + 9 - 9 = -3 - 9
-6/3x = -12
Now turn -6/3 into a whole number to make things more simple:
-6/3 = -2
-2x = -12
Now divide both sides by -2 to get x by itself
-2x/-2 = -12/-2
x = -6
