Question

Solve the equation: 1/6(6x−12)=−13−(x−3)

Answer 1

Answer:

x = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

1/6(6x−12)=−13−(x−3)

Distribute

x -2=−13−x+3

Combine like terms

x-2 = -x-10

Add x to each side

x-2+x = -x-10+x

2x-2 = -10

Add 2 to each side

2x-2 +2 = -10+2

2x = -8

Divide by 2

2x/2 = -8/2

x = -4
