First you must distribute the 3 to the numbers inside the parentheses, which would be x and 2...

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

3x + 6 - x + 8

Now you must combine like terms. This means that first numbers with no variables go together. Then the numbers with the same variables must be combined...

no variable combination:

3x + 6 -x + 8

6 + 8 = 14

3x - x + 14

same variable combination:

3x - x + 14

3x - x = 2x

2x + 14

Hope this helped!

(-6)^-1 multiply by x = 27^-1. find x
iren [92.7K]
I’m guessing the question is written as (-6)^-1x=27^-1

to get rid of a negative exponent, you use the reciprocal of the number.

so (-6)^-1 would be 1/-6
27^-1 would be 1/27

rewrite is as

(1/-6)x = 1/27

multiply both sides by reciprocal or 1/-6 to cancel it and make x by itself

it’s would be x = 1/27(-6)

multiply

x = -6/27

simplify

the final answer is x=-2/9
