Question

solve for x.
6(x - 1) = 9(x + 2)
\\(\circ\\) \\(x = -8\\)
\\(\circ\\) \\(x = -3\\)
\\(\circ\\) \\(x = 3\\)
\\(\circ\\) \\(x = 8\\)

Explanation:

Step1: Expand both sides

$6x - 6 = 9x + 18$

Step2: Move x terms to left

$6x - 9x - 6 = 18$

Step3: Move constants to right

$6x - 9x = 18 + 6$

Step4: Simplify both sides

$-3x = 24$

Step5: Solve for x

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

Answer:

A. $x = -8$
