2\times 4x+9=-x
Multiply both sides of the equation by 6, the least common multiple of 3,2,6.
8x+9=-x
Multiply 2 and 4 to get 8.
8x+9+x=0
Add x to both sides.
9x+9=0
Combine 8x and x to get 9x.
9x=-9
Subtract 9 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
x=\frac{-9}{9}
Divide both sides by 9.
x=-1
Divide -9 by 9 to get -1.
