2x-6x-9=x+4
Use the distributive property to multiply -3 by 2x+3.
-4x-9=x+4
Combine 2x and -6x to get -4x.
-4x-9-x=4
Subtract x from both sides.
-5x-9=4
Combine -4x and -x to get -5x.
-5x=4+9
Add 9 to both sides.
-5x=13
Add 4 and 9 to get 13.
x=\frac{13}{-5}
Divide both sides by -5.
x=-\frac{13}{5}
Fraction \frac{13}{-5} can be rewritten as -\frac{13}{5} by extracting the negative sign.
