Question

Solve the equation for x. -13+22=-3(x+3)

Answer 1

Answer:

$x=-6$

Step-by-step explanation:

$-13+22=-3(x+3)$

Switch sides:

$-3\left(x+3\right)=-13+22$

Solve the right side:

$-3\left(x+3\right)=9$

Divide both sides by -3:

$\frac{-3\left(x+3\right)}{-3}=\frac{9}{-3}$

$x+3=-3$

Subtract 3 from both sides:

$x+3-3=-3-3$

$x=-6$

Answer 2

Answer:

-6

Step-by-step explanation:

9=-3x-9  calculate 3x=-9-9. divide both sides 3x=-18
