Solve for x: 3(x + 1) = -2(x - 1) - 4

Mathematics
1 answer:
shepuryov [24]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

x = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x+1) = -2(x-1) - 4

3x + 3 = -2x + 2 - 4

3x + 3 = -2x - 2

Add the -2x to both sides

5x + 3 = -2

Subtract the 3 to both sides

5x = -5

Divide both sides by 5

x = -1
