Solve 3(2x-4) 3=-9 x

Evaluate

3 (2 x - 4) \times 3 = - 9 x

Multiply the terms

9 (2 x - 4) = - 9 x

Expand the expression

More Steps

18 x - 36 = - 9 x

Move the variable to the left side

18 x - 36 + 9 x = 0

Add the terms

More Steps

27 x - 36 = 0

Move the constant to the right side

27 x = 0 + 36

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

27 x = 36

Divide both sides

\frac{27 x}{27} = \frac{36}{27}

Divide the numbers

x = \frac{36}{27}

Solution

x = \frac{4}{3}

Alternative Form

x = 1. \dot{3}

3(2x 4) 3= 9 x
