Question

Solve for x: −3(x + 3) = −3(x + 1) − 5

Answer 1

ok so lets start distributing first.
-3(x+3) = -3x -9

Answer 2

On the other side we have -3x-3 -5

Answer 3

-3x-9=-3x-3-5
-3x-9=-3x-8
-6x=1
x=1/-6

Answer 4

its not x=1/6

Answer 5

Yeah that's because he did -3x -3x to be -6x, but it would be -3x + 3x which should be 0x, so I'm konfused myself lol.

Answer 6

Are you sure it's -3 for both?

Answer 7

Otherwise there shouldn't be a solution to this....

Answer 8

if you wrote the problem correctly then the answer i provided is correct however if not then the answer must have no solution.

Answer 9

-3x = -3x you would have to add the 3x to both sides, or you could divide -3x/-3 and get x = x x - x = .... 0 = ....
