Question

-3 - 3x = -4(2x + 7)

Answer 1

Answer :    x=−5

Step-by-step explanation: Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

−3−3x=−4(2x+7)

−3+−3x=(−4)(2x)+(−4)(7)(Distribute)

−3+−3x=−8x+−28

−3x−3=−8x−28

Step 2: Add 8x to both sides.

−3x−3+8x=−8x−28+8x

5x−3=−28

Step 3: Add 3 to both sides.

5x−3+3=−28+3

5x=−25

Step 4: Divide both sides by 5.

5x /5 =  −25 /5

x=−5

Answer:

x=−5
