Question

E Solve for x 6(x - 1) = 9(x + 2) x = -8 x= 3 x = 8​

Answer 1

Answer:

x = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

$6(x - 1) = 9(x + 2)$

Expand :

$6(x - 1) = 6x - 6 \\ 9(x + 2) = 9x + 18$

$6x - 6 = 9x + 18$

Collect like terms and simplify

$6x - 9x = 18 + 6 \\ - 3x = 24$

Divide both sides of the equation by -3

$\frac{ - 3x}{ - 3} = \frac{24}{ - 3} \\ x = - 8$

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

6x - 6 = 9x + 18

-3x - 6 = 18

-3x = 24

x = -8 is the solution
