Question

- 3 + 3x = 2x – 13 I have to use more characters...

Answer 1

- 3 + 3x = 2x – 13

Bring -3 to the right side of the equation by adding 3 to both sides

(- 3 + 3) + 3x = 2x – 13 + 3

0 + 3x = 2x - 10

3x = 2x - 10

Bring 2x to the other side by subtracting 2x to both sides

3x - 2x = 2x - 2x - 10

x = -10

Check:

-3 + 3(-10) = 2(-10) - 13

-3 + (-30) = -20 - 13

-33 = -33

Hope this helped!
