x = 2.857


\large\mathfrak{{\pmb{\underline{\red{Step-by-step\:explanation}}{\orange{:}}}}}


6x - 9 - 2(1 - x) = x + 9 \\ ⇢ 6x - 9 - 2 + 2x = x + 9 \\ ⇢ 8x - x = 9 + 11 \\ ⇢ 7x = 20 \\ ⇢  x = (20)/(7) \\ ⇢ x = 2.857


{ \bf{ \underbrace{To\:verify:}}}


6 * 2.857 - 9 - 2(1 - 2.857) = 2.857 + 9 \\ ➪ \: 17.142 - 9 - 2 *( - 1.857) = 11.857 \\➪ \: 8.142 + 3.714 = 11.857 \\➪ \: 11.856 = 11.857 \\ ➪ \: 11.86 = 11.86 \\ ➪ L.H.S.=R. H. S

Hence verified.
