Answer 1

to solve for x: 3(x + 1) = -2(x - 1) + 6 first, distribute so
3(x) + 3(1) = -2(x) + (-2)(-1) + 6 then simplify
3x + 3 = -2x + 2 + 6
3x + 3 = -2x + 8 then subtract 3 from both sides
-3 -3
3x + 0 = -2x + 5 then add 2x to both sides
+2x +2x
5x = 0 + 5 then divide both sides by 5
/5 /5
x = 5/5 then reduce and you have your answer
x =
