Solve 3(x-1)=2x 9

Evaluate

3 (x - 1) = 2 x \times 9

Multiply the terms

3 (x - 1) = 18 x

Expand the expression

More Steps

3 x - 3 = 18 x

Move the variable to the left side

3 x - 3 - 18 x = 0

Subtract the terms

More Steps

- 15 x - 3 = 0

Move the constant to the right side

- 15 x = 0 + 3

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

- 15 x = 3

Change the signs on both sides of the equation

15 x = - 3

Divide both sides

\frac{15 x}{15} = \frac{- 3}{15}

Divide the numbers

x = \frac{- 3}{15}

Solution

More Steps

x = - \frac{1}{5}

Alternative Form
