Answer

Final Answer: The solution set is \(\boxed{\left\{x \mid x = \frac{4}{5}\right\}}\)

Steps

Step 1 :The given equation is a linear equation in one variable, x. To solve it, we need to simplify the equation and isolate x.

Step 2 :Simplify the equation to get: \(15 - 6x = 9x + 3\)

Step 3 :Solve the equation to get: \(x = \frac{4}{5}\)

Step 4 :Check the solution by substituting \(x = \frac{4}{5}\) back into the original equation.

Step 5 :The solution is correct.

Step 6 :Final Answer: The solution set is \(\boxed{\left\{x \mid x = \frac{4}{5}\right\}}\)
