Question

c{1}{3}(6x + 9) = x - 5" alt=" \frac{1}{3}(6x + 9) = x - 5" align="absmiddle" class="latex-formula">

Answer 1

The answer is  1/3(6x-9)=x-5 

One solution was found :

                   x = -2

Rearrange:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation : 

                     1/3*(6*x-9)-(x-5)=0 

Step by step solution :

Step  1  :

1 Simplify — 3

Equation at the end of step  1  :

1 (— • (6x - 9)) - (x - 5) = 0 3

Step  2  :

Step  3  :

Pulling out like terms :

 3.1     Pull out like factors :

   6x - 9  =   3 • (2x - 3) 

Equation at the end of step  3  :

(2x - 3) - (x - 5) = 0

Step  4  :

Equation at the end of step  4  :

x + 2 = 0

Step  5  :

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

 5.1      Solve  :    x+2 = 0 

 Subtract  2  from both sides of the equation : 
                      x = -2 

One solution was found :

                   x = -2
