▼
To solve the given equations, we will go through each one step by step. Let's start with the first equation and proceed systematically.

---

Equation 1:


\[
\frac{2}{3}x + 4 = \frac{1}{6}x
\]

#### Step 1: Eliminate the fractions by finding a common denominator.
The least common denominator (LCD) of 3 and 6 is 6. Multiply every term by 6:
\[
6 \cdot \left(\frac{2}{3}x\right) + 6 \cdot 4 = 6 \cdot \left(\frac{1}{6}x\right)
\]
\[
4x + 24 = x
\]

#### Step 2: Isolate \( x \).
Subtract \( x \) from both sides:
\[
4x - x + 24 = 0
\]
\[
3x + 24 = 0
\]

Subtract 24 from both sides:
\[
3x = -24
\]

Divide by 3:
\[
x = -8
\]

#### Solution for Equation 1:
\[
\boxed{-8}
\]

---

Equation 2:


\[
\frac{2x + 4}{3} = \frac{x}{6}
\]

#### Step 1: Eliminate the fractions by finding a common denominator.
The LCD of 3 and 6 is 6. Multiply every term by 6:
\[
6 \cdot \left(\frac{2x + 4}{3}\right) = 6 \cdot \left(\frac{x}{6}\right)
\]
\[
2(2x + 4) = x
\]

#### Step 2: Simplify the left-hand side.
\[
4x + 8 = x
\]

#### Step 3: Isolate \( x \).
Subtract \( x \) from both sides:
\[
4x - x + 8 = 0
\]
\[
3x + 8 = 0
\]

Subtract 8 from both sides:
\[
3x = -8
\]

Divide by 3:
\[
x = -\frac{8}{3}
\]

#### Solution for Equation 2:
\[
\boxed{-\frac{8}{3}}
\]

---

Equation 3:


\[
\frac{2x + 4}{3} = \frac{x}{9}
\]

#### Step 1: Eliminate the fractions by finding a common denominator.
The LCD of 3 and 9 is 9. Multiply every term by 9:
\[
9 \cdot \left(\frac{2x + 4}{3}\right) = 9 \cdot \left(\frac{x}{9}\right)
\]
\[
3(2x + 4) = x
\]

#### Step 2: Simplify the left-hand side.
\[
6x + 12 = x
\]

#### Step 3: Isolate \( x \).
Subtract \( x \) from both sides:
\[
6x - x + 12 = 0
\]
\[
5x + 12 = 0
\]

Subtract 12 from both sides:
\[
5x = -12
\]

Divide by 5:
\[
x = -\frac{12}{5}
\]

#### Solution for Equation 3:
\[
\boxed{-\frac{12}{5}}
\]

---

Equation 4:


\[
\frac{2x + 4}{6} = \frac{x}{9}
\]

#### Step 1: Eliminate the fractions by finding a common denominator.
The LCD of 6 and 9 is 18. Multiply every term by 18:
\[
18 \cdot \left(\frac{2x + 4}{6}\right) = 18 \cdot \left(\frac{x}{9}\right)
\]
\[
3(2x + 4) = 2x
\]

#### Step 2: Simplify the left-hand side.
\[
6x + 12 = 2x
\]

#### Step 3: Isolate \( x \).
Subtract \( 2x \) from both sides:
\[
6x - 2x + 12 = 0
\]
\[
4x + 12 = 0
\]

Subtract 12 from both sides:
\[
4x = -12
\]

Divide by 4:
\[
x = -3
\]

#### Solution for Equation 4:
\[
\boxed{-3}
\]

---

Equation 5:


\[
\frac{2(x + 4)}{6} = \frac{x}{9}
\]

#### Step 1: Simplify the left-hand side.
\[
\frac{2(x + 4)}{6} = \frac{x + 4}{3}
\]
So the equation becomes:
\[
\frac{x + 4}{3} = \frac{x}{9}
\]

#### Step 2: Eliminate the fractions by finding a common denominator.
The LCD of 3 and 9 is 9. Multiply every term by 9:
\[
9 \cdot \left(\frac{x + 4}{3}\right) = 9 \cdot \left(\frac{x}{9}\right)
\]
\[
3(x + 4) = x
\]

#### Step 3: Simplify the left-hand side.
\[
3x + 12 = x
\]

#### Step 4: Isolate \( x \).
Subtract \( x \) from both sides:
\[
3x - x + 12 = 0
\]
\[
2x + 12 = 0
\]

Subtract 12 from both sides:
\[
2x = -12
\]

Divide by 2:
\[
x = -6
\]

#### Solution for Equation 5:
\[
\boxed{-6}
\]

---

Equation 6:


\[
\frac{2(x + 4)}{6} = \frac{x + 1}{9}
\]

#### Step 1: Simplify the left-hand side.
\[
\frac{2(x + 4)}{6} = \frac{x + 4}{3}
\]
So the equation becomes:
\[
\frac{x + 4}{3} = \frac{x + 1}{9}
\]

#### Step 2: Eliminate the fractions by finding a common denominator.
The LCD of 3 and 9 is 9. Multiply every term by 9:
\[
9 \cdot \left(\frac{x + 4}{3}\right) = 9 \cdot \left(\frac{x + 1}{9}\right)
\]
\[
3(x + 4) = x + 1
\]

#### Step 3: Simplify the left-hand side.
\[
3x + 12 = x + 1
\]

#### Step 4: Isolate \( x \).
Subtract \( x \) from both sides:
\[
3x - x + 12 = 1
\]
\[
2x + 12 = 1
\]

Subtract 12 from both sides:
\[
2x = -11
\]

Divide by 2:
\[
x = -\frac{11}{2}
\]

#### Solution for Equation 6:
\[
\boxed{-\frac{11}{2}}
\]

---

Equation 7:


\[
\frac{2(x + 4)}{6} = \frac{x}{5}
\]

#### Step 1: Simplify the left-hand side.
\[
\frac{2(x + 4)}{6} = \frac{x + 4}{3}
\]
So the equation becomes:
\[
\frac{x + 4}{3} = \frac{x}{5}
\]

#### Step 2: Eliminate the fractions by finding a common denominator.
The LCD of 3 and 5 is 15. Multiply every term by 15:
\[
15 \cdot \left(\frac{x + 4}{3}\right) = 15 \cdot \left(\frac{x}{5}\right)
\]
\[
5(x + 4) = 3x
\]

#### Step 3: Simplify the left-hand side.
\[
5x + 20 = 3x
\]

#### Step 4: Isolate \( x \).
Subtract \( 3x \) from both sides:
\[
5x - 3x + 20 = 0
\]
\[
2x + 20 = 0
\]

Subtract 20 from both sides:
\[
2x = -20
\]

Divide by 2:
\[
x = -10
\]

#### Solution for Equation 7:
\[
\boxed{-10}
\]

---

Equation 8:


\[
\frac{2(x + 4) + 1}{6} = \frac{x}{5} - 2
\]

#### Step 1: Simplify the left-hand side.
\[
\frac{2(x + 4) + 1}{6} = \frac{2x + 8 + 1}{6} = \frac{2x + 9}{6}
\]
So the equation becomes:
\[
\frac{2x + 9}{6} = \frac{x}{5} - 2
\]

#### Step 2: Eliminate the fractions by finding a common denominator.
The LCD of 6 and 5 is 30. Multiply every term by 30:
\[
30 \cdot \left(\frac{2x + 9}{6}\right) = 30 \cdot \left(\frac{x}{5}\right) - 30 \cdot 2
\]
\[
5(2x + 9) = 6x - 60
\]

#### Step 3: Simplify the left-hand side.
\[
10x + 45 = 6x - 60
\]

#### Step 4: Isolate \( x \).
Subtract \( 6x \) from both sides:
\[
10x - 6x + 45 = -60
\]
\[
4x + 45 = -60
\]

Subtract 45 from both sides:
\[
4x = -105
\]

Divide by 4:
\[
x = -\frac{105}{4}
\]

#### Solution for Equation 8:
\[
\boxed{-\frac{105}{4}}
\]

---

Equation 9:


\[
\frac{2(x + 4)}{6} + 1 = \frac{x}{5} - 2
\]

#### Step 1: Simplify the left-hand side.
\[
\frac{2(x + 4)}{6} = \frac{x + 4}{3}
\]
So the equation becomes:
\[
\frac{x + 4}{3} + 1 = \frac{x}{5} - 2
\]

#### Step 2: Eliminate the fractions by finding a common denominator.
The LCD of 3 and 5 is 15. Multiply every term by 15:
\[
15 \cdot \left(\frac{x + 4}{3}\right) + 15 \cdot 1 = 15 \cdot \left(\frac{x}{5}\right) - 15 \cdot 2
\]
\[
5(x + 4) + 15 = 3x - 30
\]

#### Step 3: Simplify the left-hand side.
\[
5x + 20 + 15 = 3x - 30
\]
\[
5x + 35 = 3x - 30
\]

#### Step 4: Isolate \( x \).
Subtract \( 3x \) from both sides:
\[
5x - 3x + 35 = -30
\]
\[
2x + 35 = -30
\]

Subtract 35 from both sides:
\[
2x = -65
\]

Divide by 2:
\[
x = -\frac{65}{2}
\]

#### Solution for Equation 9:
\[
\boxed{-\frac{65}{2}}
\]

---

Final Answers:


\[
\boxed{-8, -\frac{8}{3}, -\frac{12}{5}, -3, -6, -\frac{11}{2}, -10, -\frac{105}{4}, -\frac{65}{2}}
\]
