Question

Solve for x: 3(x + 1) = -2(x - 1) - 4.
Token and fan?!?!

Answer 1

3(x + 1) = -2(x - 1) - 4
Distribute the 3 and the -2
3x + 3 = -2x + 2 - 4
3x + 3 = -2x - 2
add 2x to both sides:
5x + 3 = -2
subtract 3 from both sides:
5x = -5
divide both sides by 5:
x = -1

Answer 2

Thank you so much! Can you help me with 1 more question?

Answer 3

I can try.

Answer 4

Solve for x: 4 over 5 x + 4 over 3 = 2x

x = __________________ Write your answer as a fraction in simplest form. Use the "/" symbol for the fraction bar.

Answer 5

Problem not clear. Is it 4 / (5x + 4) / 3 = 2x ?

Answer 6

\( \Large \frac{4}{5x + 4/3} = 2x\) ?

Answer 7

Doesn't show any parenthesis

Answer 8

I'll type how it is on the question

Answer 9

\[\frac{4 }{ 5 }+\frac{ 4 }{ 3 }=2\]

Answer 10

Sorry, first time using the equations on this site

Answer 11

Oops, forgot to put the x to the right of 4/5

Answer 12

and by the x :P

Answer 13

2*

Answer 14

\(\Large \frac 45x + \frac 43 = 2x\)
Multiply throughout by 15:
\(\Large 15*\frac 45x + 15*\frac 43 = 15*2x\)
12x + 20 = 30x
subtract 12x
20 = 18x
divide by 18
20/18 = x
x = 20/18 = 10/9

Answer 15

Thank you.
