3x%2B2%284x-3%29=6x-9 Start with the given equation.


3x%2B8x-6=6x-9 Distribute.


11x-6=6x-9 Combine like terms on the left side.


11x=6x-9%2B6 Add 6 to both sides.


11x-6x=-9%2B6 Subtract 6x from both sides.


5x=-9%2B6 Combine like terms on the left side.


5x=-3 Combine like terms on the right side.


x=%28-3%29%2F%285%29 Divide both sides by 5 to isolate x.
