<PRE><B>Question 472979</B>
{{{6(x-4)=3(3x+5)}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{6x-24=9x+15}}} Distribute.



{{{6x=9x+15+24}}} Add {{{24}}} to both sides.



{{{6x-9x=15+24}}} Subtract {{{9x}}} from both sides.



{{{-3x=15+24}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{-3x=39}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=(39)/(-3)}}} Divide both sides by {{{-3}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=-13}}} Reduce.



----------------------------------------------------------------------


Answer:


So the solution is {{{x=-13}}}
