Answer:
x = -6
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
3(1.5x + 9) = 0
Reorder the terms:
3(9 + 1.5x) = 0
(9 * 3 + 1.5x * 3) = 0
(27 + 4.5x) = 0
Solving
27 + 4.5x = 0
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-27' to each side of the equation.
27 + -27 + 4.5x = 0 + -27
Combine like terms: 27 + -27 = 0
0 + 4.5x = 0 + -27
4.5x = 0 + -27
Combine like terms: 0 + -27 = -27
4.5x = -27
Divide each side by '4.5'.
x = -6
Simplifying
x = -6
