9%28x%2B3%29=6%28x-3%29%2B2%28x%2B15%29 Start with the given equation.


9x%2B27=6x-18%2B2x%2B30 Distribute.


9x%2B27=8x%2B12 Combine like terms on the right side.


9x=8x%2B12-27 Subtract 27 from both sides.


9x-8x=12-27 Subtract 8x from both sides.


x=12-27 Combine like terms on the left side.


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