Question

x: 3(x + 1) = −2(x − 1) − 4
someone help please???

Answer 1

Distribute 3 to the brackets first and tell me what did you get ??

Answer 2

x=-1

Answer 3

Distribute means :

\[a(b+c) = ab + ac\]

Answer 4

3x + 3 = -2x - 2 ?

Answer 5

Sorry, I thought you have just distributed that.
Yeah you are right...

Add 2x both the sides then..

Answer 6

@gerryliyana let him or her try first...

Answer 7

ohh i got it!! can someone help me with one last one? 3x − 5 = 2x + 6

Answer 8

Subtract 2x both the sides..

Answer 9

1x-5=x+6 ?

Answer 10

Okay, you have to get the "x" to ONE side, so you have to minus one of them and than you have to do it to the other side of the = singe so....

#1- 3x + 5 = 2x + 6
-2x -2x
______________________________________…
#2- x + 5 = 6 You want to get x by itself, so you -5 from both sides
-5 -5
______________________________________…
#3- x = 1

Theres your answer!!

Hope that helped!! =] =]

Answer 11
