Answer:
x=-3
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
−21+6x=3(3x−5)−x
−21+6x=(3)(3x)+(3)(−5)+−x(Distribute)
−21+6x=9x+−15+−x
6x−21=(9x+−x)+(−15)(Combine Like Terms)
6x−21=8x+−15
6x−21=8x−15
Step 2: Subtract 8x from both sides.
6x−21−8x=8x−15−8x
−2x−21=−15
Step 3: Add 21 to both sides.
−2x−21+21=−15+21
−2x=6
Step 4: Divide both sides by -2.
−2x
−2
=
6
−2
