Answer 3

again...both of you...welcome to openstudy but please do not send them to sites where they can cheat either this is a cheat free zone

Answer 4

oops sorry :p

Answer 5

distribute the 2 to get -2x+12
then add/subtract the x-3
to get -x+9
subtract 9 from each side
you get -x=-4
so x=4

Answer 6

then to check you can plug it in (4-3)-2(x+6) and see if it equals -5

Answer 7

2(4+6) my bad

Answer 8

and it doesnt so i messed up. ignore me! lol

Answer 9

ahhan. .
first u gonna solve -2(x+6)
which is -2x-12
now solve the LHS
x-3-2x-12
which comes as
-x-15
so -x-15=-5
by transposition
-x=15-5
so x=-10 :p

Answer 10
