Question 507716
{{{9(2x+5)+6=6=3x}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{18x+45+6=6}}} Distribute.



{{{18x+51=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=(-45)/(18)}}} Divide both sides by {{{18}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=-5/2}}} Reduce.

Answer:


So the solution is {{{x=-5/2}}}
