6x+3-4=9x
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by 2x+1.
6x-1=9x
Subtract 4 from 3 to get -1.
6x-1-9x=0
Subtract 9x from both sides.
-3x-1=0
Combine 6x and -9x to get -3x.
-3x=1
Add 1 to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
x=\frac{1}{-3}
Divide both sides by -3.
x=-\frac{1}{3}
Fraction \frac{1}{-3} can be rewritten as -\frac{1}{3} by extracting the negative sign.
