Question

3x+3=x-5

Answer 1

4x^2-2

Answer 2

Because you have x's on both sides, get rid of your smallest x which happens to be x in this problem.

3x - x + 3 = x - x - 5 (I subtracted x from both sides)
2x + 3 = -5 I added like terms
2x + 3 - 3 = -5 - 3 I subtracted 3 from both sides
2x = -8 divide both sides by 2
x = -4

Answer 3

okay thanks!
