A. -x-3(x-1) = x-2 Distribute -3 through the parenthesis -x-3x+3 = x-2 Collect like terms -4x + 3 = x-2 Move variable to the left side and change its sign -4x + -x +3= -2 Move constant to the right side and change its sign -4x - x= -2-3 collect like terms -5x = -2-3 calculate the difference -5x = -5 Divide both sides equal by -5 x= -1
B. 9x + 1/5-8x-7/10-4x/5 Calculate the difference 1/5x + 1/5 - 1/10 Subract the fraction 1/5x - 1/2
