Answer

$x=2$

Work Step by Step

The given function is $\Rightarrow f(x)=6x+9$ Substitute $21$ for $f(x)$. $\Rightarrow 21=6x+9$ Subtract $9$ from each side. $\Rightarrow 21-9=6x+9-9$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow 12=6x$ Divide each side by $6$. $\Rightarrow \frac{12}{6}=\frac{6x}{6}$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow 2=x$.
