Question

3(negative 2-3x)=negative 9x-4

Answer 1

Answer:

x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

3(-2 - 3x) = -9x - 4 (Given)

3(-2) + 3(-3x) = -9x - 4 (Distributive Property of Equality)

-6 + 9x = -9x - 4 (Simplify)

-6 + 4 -9x= -9x - 4 + 4 (Addition Property of Equality)

-2 + 9x = -9x (Simplify)

-2 + $\frac{-9x}{-9} = \frac{-9}{-9}$ (Division Property of Equality)

-2 = x (Simplify)

x = -2 (Symmetric Property of Equality)
