Answer 3

Okay, so what does the formula become when you do that as your first step?

Answer 4

-3 (6x - 4) + 11x = -9 -- using the distributive properties, you multiply -3 into the brackets.

-18x +12 +11x = -9 -- collect like terms

-7x +12 = 9 -- move the positive 12 to the other side

-7x = -21 -- divide both sides by -7 to isolate for x
---- ----
-7 -7

x= 3
