Question

Solve for x: 3(x + 1) = −2(x − 1) + 6

Answer 1

first distribute to get

3(x + 1) = −2(x − 1) + 6

3x + 3*1 = −2x - 2(-1) + 6

3x + 3 = −2x + 2 + 6

Answer 2

then combine like terms 2 and 6 on the right side to get

3x + 3 = -2x + 8

what's your next step?

Answer 3

I don't know, lol. I really need help I am bad at algebra, and need the answer. 1, 4, 5, 25 are my choices..

Answer 4

you want to isolate x

Answer 5

so you need to get all the x terms to one side and everything else to the other

Answer 6

so you need to move that -2x over

you do this by adding 2x to both sides to get

3x + 3 + 2x = 8

then you subtract 3 from both sides to get

3x + 2x = 8 - 3

now combine like terms

5x = 5

finally divide both sides by 5 to isolate x fully

x = 5/5

x = 1

Answer 7

Lmao thanksss(:

Answer 8

Oops, disregard my answer

Answer 9

yw

Answer 10

can you answer all the questions im about to put here?

Answer 11

I'll do a few, but not all

Answer 12

Ighttt.

Answer 13

One month, a music site observed that 60% of the people who downloaded songs from its site downloaded Q Sam's latest single. The equation below represents this information, where x represents the total number of people who downloaded songs from the site that month.

x = 0.6x + 384

How many people who downloaded songs from the site that month downloaded Q Sam's latest single?

576

240

144

960

Answer 14

first subtract 0.6x from both sides (you want to move it over to the other side)

x = 0.6x + 384

x - 0.6x = 384

0.4x = 384

what's your next step?

Answer 15

Divide .4x on both sides...i think

Answer 16

close, divide both sides by 0.4 to isolate x

Answer 17

0.4x = 384

x = 384/0.4

x = ???

Answer 18

960?

Answer 19

good

Answer 20

hell ya. lol. uhmm now this one.

Answer 21

Solve for x: −2(x + 3) = −2(x + 1) − 4

Answer 22

−2(x + 3) = −2(x + 1) − 4

−2x - 6 = −2x - 2 − 4... distribute

-2x - 6 = -2x - 6 ... combine like terms.

see how to finish up?

Answer 23

uhh...cancel out 6..?

Answer 24

good, add 6 to both sides

-2x - 6 = -2x - 6

-2x - 6+6 = -2x - 6+6

-2x + 0 = -2x + 0

-2x = -2x

what's next?

Answer 25

2

3

All real numbers

No solution

these are my options

Answer 26

divide two.?

Answer 27

yep divide both sides by -2

-2x = -2x

x = x

this is ALWAYS true for ANY real number

Answer 28

so that's why the solution set is the set of all real numbers

Answer 29

the answer is all real numbers?

Answer 30

yes

Answer 31

pick any number you want, it will work for x when you plug it in

Answer 32

thankssss dawwgg lol

Answer 33

Solve for x: 3x − 5 = 2x + 6

Answer 34

np

Answer 35

last one

Answer 36

ok try to work it out and show me how far you get

Answer 37

3x − 5 = 2x + 6
im confused on the first step.

Answer 38

How am i supposed to cancel out 5 and 6 if they arent the same numbers?

Answer 39

ok you want to move all the x terms to one side, everything else to the other

Answer 40

how do you move the 2x over?

Answer 41

idk what to doo. god i hate algebra.

Answer 42

on the right side, you're adding 2x

undo this by subtracting 2x

Answer 43

so that's why you subtract 2x from both sides

Answer 44

3x - 5 = 2x + 6

3x - 5 - 2x = 6

how do you move that -5 over?

Answer 45

I dont know what im talking aboutt lol. can you please tell me the answer? i suck at this pellet.

Answer 46

its ok not to know, but don't give up

Answer 47

you don't suck, you just need practice, that's all

Answer 48

Why does it say pellet? lmao i typed s-h-i-t

Answer 49

Can you please tell me?

Answer 50

it's the censor/filter lol

Answer 51

I can tell you, but you have to try a bit first

Answer 52

Goddddddd. this bullpellet is so fluttering annoyinggg.

Answer 53

this will be on a test someday and you'll have to know how to solve equations

Answer 54

I am taking a test right now lol xD

Answer 55

oh...

Answer 56

Ya...So...uh..

Answer 57

sry can't help, but if it weren't a test and you had more time, then I'd love to

I can see why you're so stressed now. I hate tests too

Answer 58

I figured it outt! its 11, lol. I used my calculator and put every choice in for x and got the same answer. yaa.

Answer 59

nice work, see I knew you could do it

Answer 60

Jim your a champion, very patient, understanding and helpful, keep up the good work
