What is the value of x in the equation −x = 2 − 3x + 6?

1 answer:

7 0

-x = 2 - 3x + 6

Add 3x to both sides.

-x + 3x = 2 + 6

Simplify.

2x = 8

Divide both sides by 2.

x = 4

~Hope I helped!~

What is the correct solution to 1/2(x+18)=4(2x-6)-9x

denis-greek [22]

Answer:

x = 22

Step-by-step explanation:

I interpreted your problem as:

$\frac{1}{2} (x+18) = 4(2x-6)-9x$

I simplified the problem to:

$\frac{1}{2} x+9 = 8x-24-9x$

I combined like terms:

$\frac{1}{2} x+9 = -x-24$

I moved all x to one side and all other constants to the other:

$\frac{3}{2} x = -33$

I divided by 3/2 (1.5) on both sides to isolate x:

$x = 22$

Hope it helps! (:
