Question 447149: What value of x will make the equation 3(x + 15) - 6x = -6(x - 3) true?

Solve for x!
3(x + 15) - 6x = -6(x - 3)
Distribute the 3 into the x and 15 and the -6 into the x and -3: 3x + 45 - 6x = -6x + 18
Combine like terms: -3x + 45 = -6x + 18
Add 6x to both sides: 3x + 45 = 18
Subtract 45 from both sides: 3x = -27
Divide both sides by 3 to isolate the x: x = -9
==> Therefore, x = -9
