6(x + -1) = 9(x + 2)
Reorder the terms:
6(-1 + x) = 9(x + 2)
(-1 * 6 + x * 6) = 9(x + 2)
(-6 + 6x) = 9(x + 2)
Reorder the terms:
-6 + 6x = 9(2 + x)
-6 + 6x = (2 * 9 + x * 9)
-6 + 6x = (18 + 9x)
Solving
-6 + 6x = 18 + 9x
Solving for variable 'x'.
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: 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: -6 + 6 = 0
0 + -3x = 18 + 6
-3x = 18 + 6
Combine like terms: 18 + 6 = 24
-3x = 24
Divide each side by '-3'.

Answer:
11
Step-by-step explanation:
m∠1 = m∠2 {Corresponding angles}
78 - 2x = 89 - 3x
Add 3x to both sides
78 - 2x + 3x = 89
78 + x = 89
Subtract 78 from both sides
x = 89 - 78
x = 11
