2x-9=6+6x-15
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by 2x-5.
2x-9=-9+6x
Subtract 15 from 6 to get -9.
2x-9-6x=-9
Subtract 6x from both sides.
-4x-9=-9
Combine 2x and -6x to get -4x.
-4x=-9+9
Add 9 to both sides.
-4x=0
Add -9 and 9 to get 0.

Product of two numbers is equal to 0 if at least one of them is 0. Since -4 is not equal to 0, x must be equal to 0.
