6(x – 1) = 9(x + 2)

x = –8
x = –3
x = 3
x = 8

Answer 1

Let's solve this equation step-by-step. :) @acacia

Answer 2

Simplify both sides of the equation.

Answer 3

Ok.. done

Answer 4

(6)(x)+(6)(−1)=(9)(x)+(9)(2)(Distribute)
6x+ −6 = 9x+18
6x−6= 9x+18

Answer 5

6x−6= 9x+18 is this what you got? if you did then good job! :)

Answer 6

Subtract 9x from both sides.

Answer 7

-8

Answer 8

6x−6−9x=9x+18−9x

−3x−6=18

Answer 9

Add 6 to both sides.

Answer 10

−3x−6+6=18+6

−3x=24

Answer 11

Ok

Answer 12

Divide both sides by -3. :)

Answer 13

kk

Answer 14
