Answer 1

multiply -3 with the elecments inside the bracker
-6x+3 = x+10 rest is simple algebra.. can u do from here?

Answer 2

yes, I think so. Next you would add 3 to both sides... right?

Answer 4

add?

Answer 5

That way it would cancel out -3

Answer 6

-6x+3 = x+10
this is the equation.. now look again..

Answer 7

oh! I wrote it down wrong... ok so you would subtract. It would then come out to be
-6x=x+7
now would I multiply?

Answer 8

hmm not multiply now u have to make all the x's on one side.

Answer 9
