Question

Solve for x: 3(x + 1) = -2(x - 1) - 4.

Answer 1

Just simplify both sides of the equation.

Answer 2

Use the Distributive Property.

Answer 3

So...

3x + 3 = -2x + 3 - 4

Answer 4

3x + 3 = -2x - 1

Simplify it from here.

Answer 5

3x + 3 = -2x + 2 - 4
3x+3= -2x - 2
3x+2x+3=-2x + 2x -2
5x +3 =-2
5x +3 -3 = -2-3
5x= -5
x=-1
