I guess if you guys get tired of me asking you'll quit answering, LOL!!  So this one is too weird for me: 6-2(3x-3)=0.  I get X=0.  Can someone tell me if I am right?

;) thanks

anonymous · Answer

x = 0 you are correct

anonymous · Answer

REALLY!!  Wow that's great, thank you much for your help:)

anonymous · Answer

you can also plug x-0 back into the equation and after some algebra you will see 0=0 so therfore an x value of 0 works

anonymous · Answer

Ok, I don't quite get that but I'll learn:)

youre welcome, but if you wnt to step thru it id be willing to help out

  6-2(3x-3)=0  ; subtract 6 from both sides
-6               -6
----           ----
  -2(3x-3) = -6 ; divide off that -2
  /-2            /-2
 -----         ----
       3x-3  =  3    ; add 3 to each side
          +3     +3
       -----    ---
          3x   =  6
