  3. Evaluate: 6-2x=5x-9x+2

Expression: $6-2x=5x-9x+2$

Add similar elements: $ 5x-9x=-4x$

$6-2x=-4x+2$

Subtract $6$ from both sides

$6-2x-6=-4x+2-6$

Simplify

$-2x=-4x-4$

Add $4x$ to both sides

$-2x+4x=-4x-4+4x$

Simplify

$2x=-4$

Divide both sides by $2$

$\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{-4}{2}$

Simplify

$x=-2$
