Answer:
-8
Reorder the terms:
-6 + 6x = 9[2 + x]
-6 + 6x = [2 * 9 + x * 9]
-6 + 6x = [18 + 9x]
Solving
-6 + 6x = 18 + 9x
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-9x' to each side of the equation.
-6 + 6x + -9x = 18 + 9x + -9x
Combine like terms: 6x + -9x = -3x
-6 + -3x = 18 + 9x + -9x
Combine like terms: 9x + -9x = 0
-6 + -3x = 18 + 0
-6 + -3x = 18
Add '6' to each side of the equation.
-6 + 6 + -3x = 18 + 6
Combine like terms: -6 + 6 = 0
0 + -3x = 18 + 6
-3x = 18 + 6
Combine like terms: 18 + 6 = 24
-3x = 24
Divide each side by '-3'.
x = -8
Simplifying
x = -8
