-3(x+2)-3=4(3x-6)-6x
-3x - 6 - 3=12x -24 -6x
-3x - 9 = 6x - 24
-9x -9 = - 24
so
-9x = -15
x = 15/9
x = 5/3

-3(x+2)-3=4(3x-6)-6x
Based on the BODMAS rule, This is the correct answer.
=>> -3x-6-3 = 12x-24-6x
=>> -3x-9 = 6x-24
=>> 24-9 = 6x+3x
=>> 15 = 9x
=>> x = 15/9
And if you would want to know what BODMAS is all about, here is the link to a site that explains it very well. Enjoy your math.

well, let's see
-3x -6 - 3 = 12x - 24 - 6x
-3x - 9 = 6x - 24
- 9 = 9x - 24
15 = 9x
x = 15/9

use the distributive property
-3x+-6-3=12x-24-6x
Simplify
-3x-9=6x-24
Isolate the variable
-3x-6x=-24+9
Simplify
-9x=-15
now divide each side by -9
x=15/9
Simplify the fraction and you get you answer,
x=5/3

m=a million x-int=7 or (7,0) making use of factor slope, a million=(y-0)/(x-7) x-7=y x-y-7=0 or x-y=7 or y=x-7 examine making use of the y= mx+b type to that end it is y=x-7 the coefficient of x is a million for this reason the slope is a million. in case you substitute the x intercept to the x value and 0 to the y, the equation will tournament 0=7-7 or 0=0
