To solve the equation \( 9 + 5(4x - 3) = 7x - 6 \), we'll first distribute the 5 on the left side:
\[ 9 + 5 \cdot 4x - 5 \cdot 3 = 7x - 6 \]
This simplifies to:
\[ 9 + 20x - 15 = 7x - 6 \]
Now combine the constants on the left side:
\[ 20x - 6 = 7x - 6 \]
Next, we want to get all the terms involving \( x \) on one side. Subtract \( 7x \) from both sides:
\[ 20x - 7x - 6 = -6 \]
This simplifies to:
\[ 13x - 6 = -6 \]
Now, add 6 to both sides:
\[ 13x = 0 \]
Finally, divide by 13:
\[ x = 0 \]
So, the solution to the equation is \( \boxed{0} \).
