Question 235259


{{{-2(9+3x)=6(2x+3)}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{-18-6x=12x+18}}} Distribute.



{{{-6x=12x+18+18}}} Add {{{18}}} to both sides.



{{{-6x-12x=18+18}}} Subtract {{{12x}}} from both sides.



{{{-18x=18+18}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{-18x=36}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=(36)/(-18)}}} Divide both sides by {{{-18}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=-2}}} Reduce.

Answer:


So the solution is {{{x=-2}}}
