Let's solve the equation step by step:
Given: \[ 9x - 3(2x + 1) = 2x + 4 \]
First, distribute \(-3\) in the left-hand side: \[ 9x - 6x - 3 = 2x + 4 \]
Now, combine like terms on the left side: \[ (9x - 6x) - 3 = 2x + 4 \] \[ 3x - 3 = 2x + 4 \]
Next, subtract \(2x\) from both sides: \[ 3x - 2x - 3 = 4 \] \[ x - 3 = 4 \]
Now, add \(3\) to both sides: \[ x = 4 + 3 \] \[ x = 7 \]
Thus, the solution to the equation is: \[ x = 7 \]
