Answer:

x = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

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

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

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

Reorder the terms:

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

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

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

Solving :the equation

3 + 3x = -2 + 2x

add '-2x' to each side of the equation.

3 + 3x + -2x = -2 + 2x + -2x  

Combine like terms: 3x + -2x = x

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

combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0

3 + x = -2 + 0

3 + x = -2

Add '-3' to each side of the equation.

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

Combine like terms: 3 + -3 = 0

0 + x = -2 + -3

x = -2 + -3  

Combine like terms: -2 + -3 = -5

x = -5  

divide each side by '1'.

x = -5

2z -5(z +2) = -8 - 2z<br><br> Please explain!! Thank you
Korolek [52]

Follow PEMDAS.

You would first do your distributive property which is, -5(z+2). You would multiply -5 to z and -5 to 2 which will give you -5z + -10.

so now you have 2z-5z+ -10= -8 - 2z. Now you must isolate the variable. So subtract -8 to -10 which will give you -18.

Now you have the equation 2z-5z-18=-2z

Now combine like terms. 2z-5z= -3z

Now you have the equation -3z-18=-2z

Now you must move the -3z to the other side of the equal sign by adding the opposite which is +3z to -2z which will give you +1z

Now you have -18= 1z

Now you divide. -18 divided by 1 is -18.

So your final answer will be -18=z
