I'll do the first one to get you started.

-3x-6%28x-4%29=9 Start with the given equation.


-3x-6x%2B24=9 Distribute.


-9x%2B24=9 Combine like terms on the left side.


-9x=9-24 Subtract 24 from both sides.


-9x=-15 Combine like terms on the right side.


x=%28-15%29%2F%28-9%29 Divide both sides by -9 to isolate x.


x=5%2F3 Reduce.


----------------------------------------------------------------------

Answer:

So the solution is x=5%2F3
