9x-%286x-1%29=2 Start with the given equation.


9x-6x%2B1=2 Distribute.


3x%2B1=2 Combine like terms on the left side.


3x=2-1 Subtract 1 from both sides.


3x=1 Combine like terms on the right side.


x=%281%29%2F%283%29 Divide both sides by 3 to isolate x.

Answer:

So the solution is x=1%2F3 which approximates to x=0.333.
