Question

Solve the following equation for the given variable 3(x+6)=-9

Answer 1

Answer:

x = -9

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x+6)=-9

Divide each side by 3

3/3 *(x+6)=-9/3

x+6 = -3

Subtract 6 from each side

x+6-6 = -3-6

x = -9

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

so... 3(x+6)=-9

at 1st you do 3*x which is 3x then 3*6=18

all together is (3x+18)=-9

then get rid of brackets 3x+18=-9

after that take away 18 from both sides 3x+18=-9

                                                                 -18    -18

which is 3x = -27

then you divide 3 in the both side

its going to be 3x = -27

3/3=1x or x  then  -27/3 = -9

so x = -9
