3(x+1)=-2(x-1)+6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Distribute both sides in order to remove the parenthesis.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

left side 3*x + 3*1 3x + 3 did you follow?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes.:O)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right side -2x + 2 + 6 -2x + 8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so now we have 3x + 3 = -2x + 8 Using algebra rules move all Xs to one side and the numbers to the other

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay! Thanks so much for your help! You really helped me out!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got something different...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3x + 3 = -2x + 8 3x + 2x = 8-3 5x = 5 x = 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OHHHh! I did 10 -6

OpenStudy (anonymous):
