Question

Solve for x.
6(x - 1) = 9(x + 2)
O x=-8
O X=-3
O x=3
Ox=8

Answer 1

x = -8

Explanation:

6x - 6 = 9x + 18

3x = -24

x = -8

Answer 2

x=-4

Explanation:

To solve this question we will have to open the bracket first

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

6x+6=9x+18

Collect like terms

6x-9x=18-6

-3x=12

Make x the subject of formula by dividing both sides by -3

X=-4

Therefore the final answer is x=-4
