Question

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

Answer 1

A. 1
B. -1
C. -5
D. -25

Answer 2

so distribute 3, and -2 ---> 3x + 3 = -2x + 2 - 4
now combine like terms on the right side 2 - 4 --> 3x + 3 = -2x -2
add 2 from the right to the left ---> 3x + 5 = -2x
now subtract 3x from the left to the right side ---> 5 = -5x
divide 5 by -5 so X is by its self

X = -1
