Question

Solve for x: 3(x + 1) = -2(x - 1) + 6.

Answer 1

first get rid of the parenthesis

Answer 2

Okay so then it will be 3x+3= -2x+1+6?

Answer 3

Almost
-2(x-1)+6 will become -2x+2+6

Answer 4

So you'd have 3x+3= -2x+8

Answer 5

Then subtract 3 and 8?

Answer 6

you subtract 3 on both sides to get the numbers to the right

Answer 7

so it will be 3x = -2+5?

Answer 8

-2x

Answer 9

3x=-2x+5

Now you need to get the -2x to the left
To do that you add 2x on both sides

Answer 10

5x=5 then you divide it and it equals 1?

Answer 11

yes you divide both sides by 5 so the result would be x=1
Well done :)
