9x - 2 = 4(x - 3)
:
Multiply what's inside the brackets
9x - 2 = 4x - 12
:
Subtract 4x from both sides
9x - 2 - 4x = -12
5x - 2 = -12
:
Add 2 to both sides
5x = -12 + 2
5x = -10
:
Divide both sides by 5
x =
x = -2
:
:
Check solution of x=-2 in the original problem
9(-2) - 2 = 4(-2 - 3)
-18 - 2 = 4(-5)
-20 = -20 equality reigns, confirms our solution
