Question

Solve −2(2x + 5) − 3 = −3(x − 1).

Answer 1

X=-16 -2(2x+5)-3=-3(x-1) (-4x-10)-3=-3x+3 -4x-13=-3x+3 Move -13 to the right side by adding it to +3 and itself to cancel the original -13 out, and move -3x to the left side by adding it to -4x and itself to cancel the original -3x out -4x+3x=3+13 -1x=16 Divide -1 from both sides x=-16

Answer 2

- - Solve for "x"

Steps:
You need to simplify for both sides of your equation
Then add your "3x" to both of the sides of the problem
Now add 13 to both sides
and then final step is to divide both sides by "-1"

Final answer:

x= -16
