6(x−9)=
−36

1 answer

To solve the equation \( 6(x - 9) = -36 \), follow these steps:

  1. Divide both sides by 6 to isolate the expression inside the parentheses: \[ x - 9 = \frac{-36}{6} \] \[ x - 9 = -6 \]

  2. Add 9 to both sides to solve for \( x \): \[ x = -6 + 9 \] \[ x = 3 \]

Thus, the solution is: \[ \boxed{3} \]
