Answer 1

x=-1
do u need the steps

Answer 2

distribute the 3 on the left side and distribute the -2 on the right side

Answer 3

3 x+3 = -2 (x-1)-4

Answer 4

3 x+3 = -2 x-2

Answer 5

3 (1+x) = -4-2 (-1+x)
3+3 x = -4-2 (-1)-2 x
3+3 x = -4--2-2 x
3+3 x = -4+(-1)^(1+1) 2-2 x
3+3 x = -4+2 (-1)^(1+1)-2 x
3+3 x = -4+2-2 x
3+3 x = -4+2-2 x
= 3 x+3 = -2 x-2
