Question

$$9-15x-6-6x=6$$

Solve for x

$x=-\frac{1}{7}\approx -0.142857143$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract $6$ from $9$ to get $3$.

$$3-15x-6x=6$$

Combine $-15x$ and $-6x$ to get $-21x$.

$$3-21x=6$$

Subtract $3$ from both sides.

$$-21x=6-3$$

Subtract $3$ from $6$ to get $3$.

$$-21x=3$$

Divide both sides by $-21$.

$$x=\frac{3}{-21}$$

Reduce the fraction $\frac{3}{-21}$ to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out $3$.

$$x=-\frac{1}{7}$$
