We have an equation with parentheses. To make our lives easier, first get rid of the parentheses. We do this by using the distributive property.
It is used like this: a(b + c) = ab + ac.
Use the distributive property on the left-hand side.
3(x - 1) = 6
3x - 3 = 6
Now we have an equation that is easier.
The x variable is being multiplied by 3 and added to -3.
Reverse all of these operations with their inverse operation.
3x - 3 = 6
3x = 9 <--- I got rid of the -3 term by using the inverse of subtraction. Addition.
And I did the same for both sides to keep the equation true.
x = 3 <--- The inverse of multiplication is division.
So, I divided both sides by 3.
So, x is equal to 3.
Answer: The correct answer is the third option, (-3,-4).
Step-by-step explanation: You plug in 2x + 2 for y, given that y = 2x + 2.
2x+2 = x - 1
x = -3
Now, you plug in -3 for x in an equation.
y = -3 - 1
y = -4.
(-3, -4)
