Question

Solve for x: 3(x + 1) = −2(x − 1) + 6 HELP PLEASE

Answer 1

\[3(x + 1) = -2(x - 1) + 6\]\[\huge Distribute!\]\[3x + 3 = -2x + 2 + 6\]Can you solve from here?

Answer 2

3(x+1) = -2(x-1) + 6
use distributive property
3x + 3 = -2x + 2 + 6
combine like terms
3x + 3 = -2x + 8
add 2x to both sides
3x + 2x + 3 = 8
subtract 3 from both sides
3x + 2x = 8 - 3
now simplify

Answer 3

=>3x+3=-2x+2+6 =>3x+2x=2+6-3 =>5x=4 =>x=??

Answer 4

@Calcmathlete that's why I gave u a medal ;)

Answer 5

Simplifying my above statement further:
\[3x + 3 = -2x + 2 + 6 \implies 3x + 2x = 2 + 6 - 3 \implies 5x = 5 \implies ?\]

Answer 6

is it 4?

Answer 7

no

Answer 8

how?

Answer 9

5x=5
x=5/5=1

Answer 10

would've been fun if @michaelr35 discovered that....

Answer 11

No...
\[5x = 5\]\[\frac{5x}{5} = \frac 55\]\[\frac{\cancel{5}x}{\cancel{5}} = \frac{\cancel{5}}{\cancel{5}}\]\[x = ?
