Answer 5

Hi @mathmale

Answer 6

Hate to "rain on your parade," but for one of you to do the problem and to give away the answer with no involvement on the part of the other, or to accept such an answer without going through the problem solution by oneself, both violate OpenStudy's rules.

I'd appreciate it if you, Broskishelleh, would set up step-by-step instructions whereby Shaee will be able to arrive at the correct solution herself.

Answer 7

Ah yes.
3(x + 1) = -2(x - 1) - 4
3(-1 + 1) = -2(-1 - 1) - 4

Answer 8

The way I just put is true, meaning it can be solved.
@Shaee Try solving 3(-1 + 1) = -2(-1 - 1) - 4

Answer 9

Oh ok, I don't know how to give any fan medals
