Answer:
Below in bold
Step-by-step explanation:
-3(8x - 2) = 9 - 21x
~Divide -3 to everything
8x - 2 = -3 + 7x
~Add 3 to both sides
8x + 1 = 7x
~Subtract 8x to both sides
1 = -x
~Divide -1 to both sides
-1 = x
Note that this isn't the most used way to solve equations because you would typically use distribution to simplify the left side.
Best of Luck!
