4x+4=6x+9
Use the distributive property to multiply 4 by x+1.
4x+4-6x=9
Subtract 6x from both sides.

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