Answer:
x=12
Step-by-step explanation:
first, you need to get the variable to one side
the easiest way to do it and not deal with negatives would be this way:
2/3x - 1 = 9 - 1/6x
+1/6x +1/6x in order to do this you must first convert the 2/3 to 4/6
to then get
5/6x - 1 = 9
then solve it like normal
5/6x - 1 = 9
+1 +1
5/6x = 10
/ 5/6 /5/6
x=12
