Question 114430


{{{3x+2(4x-3)=6x-9}}} Start with the given equation




{{{3x+8x-6=6x-9}}} Distribute



{{{11x-6=6x-9}}} Combine like terms on the left side



{{{11x=6x-9+6}}}Add 6 to both sides



{{{11x-6x=-9+6}}} Subtract 6x from both sides



{{{5x=-9+6}}} Combine like terms on the left side



{{{5x=-3}}} Combine like terms on the right side



{{{x=(-3)/(5)}}} Divide both sides by 5 to isolate x




{{{x=-3/5}}} Reduce


--------------------------------------------------------------

Answer:

So our answer is {{{x=-3/5}}}  (which is approximately {{{x=-0.6}}} in decimal form)
