Question

anonymous · Answer

3x(2)=-4x-1
Multiply 3x by 2 in the numerator.
Multiply 3x by 2to get 6x.
6x=-4x-1
Since -4x contains the variable to solve for, move it to the left-hand side of the equation by adding 4x to both sides. The -4x will cancel out on the right-hand side and look like this.
6x+4x=-4x+4x-1
   6x+4x=-1
Since 6x and 4x are like terms, add 4x to 6x to get 10x.
10x=-1
Divide each term in the equation by 10.
10x/10=-1/10
Simplify the left-hand side of the equation by canceling the common factors.
x= -1/10
