2(2x+3)=-6(x+9)

1 answer

First, distribute the 2 on the left side and the -6 on the right side:

4x + 6 = -6x - 54

Next, combine like terms by moving all the variables to one side of the equation:

4x + 6 + 6x = -6x - 54 + 6

10x + 6 = -48

Subtract 6 from both sides:

10x = -54

Divide by 10 to solve for x:

x = -5.4

So, the solution is x = -5.4.
