Distribute across the parenthesis and solve for $x$

$x = -5/3$

$6(6x +9) -3 = 9x+6$

$36 x + 54 -3 =9x+6" "$ so now combine like terms

$36x +51 = 9x + 6" "$ subtract $9x and 51$ from both sides

$36x - 9x + 51 -51 = 9x -9x + 6 - 51" "$ gives

$27x = -45" "$ dividing both sides by 27 gives

$(27x)/27 = (-45)/27$ gives

$x = -5/3$

$x = - 1 2/3$

$6(6x+9)-3=9x+6$
$36x+54-3=9x+6$
$36x-9x=-54+3+6$
$27x=-54+9$
$27x=-45$
$x=frac(-45) 27$
Both are divisible by 9
$x=frac(-5) 3$

How do you solve 6( 6x + 9) - 3= 9x + 66( 6x + 9) - 3= 9x + 6?
