Question

Solve for x: X- 6 = -3x + 22

Answer 1

Answer:

Your answer is x=7

Step-by-step explanation:

$x - 6 = -3x + 22$ add 6 to both sides

$x - 6(+6) = -3x + 22(+6)$ cross out -6(+6) and add 22+6=28

$x = -3x + 28$ add 3x on both sides

$x (+3x) = (+3x)-3x + 28$  x+3x=4x and cross out (+3x)-3x

$4x = 28$ divide 4 on both sides

$\frac{4x}{4} = \frac{28}{4}$ cross out 4 leave x and divide 28 and 4 =7

$x=7$
