Next time, please be specific about your goal: "Solve for x; write your answer as a fraction."
The first step here is to combine the x-terms within the parentheses:
9(-5x) = 0
The second step is to perform the indicated multiplication:
-45x = 0
Dividing both sides by -45, we get x = 0. Ensure that you have copied down this problem correctly.
Hello,
9(13x - 18x) = 117x - 162x = -45x = 0
0 = 0 / -45 = 0
