Solve for x by simplifying both sides of the equation, then isolate the variable.
The first step would be to distribute the 2/3 to the x and -9 and you get 2/3 x -6 = -11. Then you add 6 to both sides, equaling to 2/3x = -5. The second to last step would be multiplying both sides by 3 canceling out the fraction on the left ; the equation would be 2x = -15. The final step is to divide both sides by the variable (2x) and therefore x equals -15/2 or -7.5 .
