Solve x-3=2/6x-6 - ScanMath

Evaluate

x - 3 = \frac{2}{6} x - 6

Cancel out the common factor 2

x - 3 = \frac{1}{3} x - 6

Multiply both sides of the equation by LCM

(x - 3) \times 3 = (\frac{1}{3} x - 6) \times 3

Calculate

More Steps

3 x - 9 = (\frac{1}{3} x - 6) \times 3

Calculate

More Steps

3 x - 9 = x - 18

Move the expression to the left side

3 x - 9 - x = - 18

Move the expression to the right side

3 x - x = - 18 + 9

Add and subtract

More Steps

2 x = - 18 + 9

Add and subtract

2 x = - 9

Divide both sides

\frac{2 x}{2} = \frac{- 9}{2}

Divide the numbers

x = \frac{- 9}{2}

Solution

x = - \frac{9}{2}

Alternative Form

x = - 4.5
