Solve -9(x-1)-15=3

Evaluate

- 9 (x - 1) - 15 = 3

Move the expression to the left side

- 9 (x - 1) - 15 - 3 = 0

Subtract the numbers

- 9 (x - 1) - 18 = 0

Calculate

More Steps

- 9 x - 9 = 0

Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign

- 9 x = 0 + 9

Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression

- 9 x = 9

Change the signs on both sides of the equation

9 x = - 9

Divide both sides

\frac{9 x}{9} = \frac{- 9}{9}

Divide the numbers

x = \frac{- 9}{9}
