no, x=3, not 15. if the solution was 15, the answer would be -6, not 6. dummy.

No. It's easier to convert the equation to find the answer.
9 = 6 + x
Then you'll see the answer quickly.

no, because 9 minus 15 isnt 6, its negative 6.

only if it's -15
9-(-15) = 6 works
otherwise you end up with a -6 as your answer the way it is now

Yes, it's a solution; however it is a wrong solution. You might want to try x = 3.
