9%282x%2B5%29%2B6=6=3x Start with the given equation.


18x%2B45%2B6=6 Distribute.


18x%2B51=6 Combine like terms on the left side.


18x=6-51 Subtract 51 from both sides.


18x=-45 Combine like terms on the right side.


x=%28-45%29%2F%2818%29 Divide both sides by 18 to isolate x.


x=-5%2F2 Reduce.
