Question 224696


{{{-6x-9=-2x-25}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{-6x=-2x-25+9}}} Add {{{9}}} to both sides.



{{{-6x+2x=-25+9}}} Add {{{2x}}} to both sides.



{{{-4x=-25+9}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{-4x=-16}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=(-16)/(-4)}}} Divide both sides by {{{-4}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=4}}} Reduce.
