Answer: [tex]x=-3[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the equation:
[tex]-2x - 15 = 6x + 9[/tex]
You must solve for "x" to find its value.
You can follow these steps:
- Add [tex]2x[/tex] to both sides of the equation:
[tex]-2x - 15+2x= 6x + 9+2x[/tex]
[tex]- 15 = 8x +9[/tex]
- Subtract 9 from both sides of the equation:
[tex]- 15-9 = 8x +9-9[/tex]
[tex]-24 = 8x[/tex]
- Divide both sides of the equation by 8. Then you get:
[tex]\frac{-24}{8}=\frac{8x}{8}\\\\x=-3[/tex]
