Question

Solve for x: 3(x + 1) = −2(x − 1) − 4
Someone please show me how to do this?

Expand it. 3 x+3 = -2 x-2

After that, you would get x = -1

Would you be able to possibly help me with something else? 

Create your own two-step equation with All Real Numbers as the solution. Show the steps to solving the equation to prove the solution All Real Numbers.

I have no idea how to do this

smileyxl3 · Answer

Two-step equation? Is it for the previous equation to get to the answer?

anonymous · Answer

No its a completely different problem

smileyxl3 · Answer

There isn't a equation to go with it? Or you supposed to make up your own equation?

anonymous · Answer

You are supposed to make your own equation and show how you got to it, but I have no idea what a two step equation with all real numbers is supposed to be.

smileyxl3 · Answer

Ok. Example equation

4x + 2 = 4x + 2
→ 4x = 4x
→ x = x

anonymous · Answer

Ok....so is that an example of a two step equation? 

(i hate algebra)

anonymous · Answer

Thank you

smileyxl3 · Answer

Pretty sure that is a two step equation. If you wanted to add a bit more, you could add that you subtract 2 from each side but that's about it.
