Answer:

Given:

a + b = 9

=> a = 9 - b

Given:

a x b = 18

=> (9 - b) x b = 18

=> 9b - b^2 = 18

=> b^2 - 9b + 18 = 0

=> (b - 3)(b - 6) = 0

=> b = 3 => a = 6

=> b = 6 => a = 3

2(2x + 3) = -6(x + 9)

sergeinik [125]

Answer:

Your answer is -6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify 2(2x+3) to get 4x+6

Then simplify -6(x+9) to get -6x-54

Now you have 4x+6=-6x-54

Move all of the coefficients to one side:

10x+6=-54

Move all of the constants to the other side:

10x=-60

Divide each side by 10:

10/10x=-60/10

To get your answer of -6.
