3(x-1)=2(x+8)

Answer 1

Multiply each of the 2 terms of (x-1) by 3. Please show your work.

Answer 2

(3*x)-(3*-1)=(2*x)+(2*8)

Answer 3

\[3(x-1)=2(x+8) \]

Distribute 3 to x and -1

then Distribute 2 to x and 8

When I say distribute, it means to multiply the terms in the parentheses by the number we are distributing(the number infront of the parentheses)

Answer 4

After we correctly distribute, we get this.

\[3x - 3 = 2x + 16 \]

Answer 5

Now we isolate x

Answer 6

Add 3 to both sides

\[3x = 2x + 19\]

Answer 7

Subtract 2x from both sides

\[x = 19\]
