Answer:

x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, we must simply solve for x.  To do this, we will need equation operations, and the use of the distributive property.

Let's work this line by line until we have the value for x:

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

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

-3x + 6x + 3 = x - 1

3x + 3 = x - 1

2x = -4

x = -2

Now we can check our answer for x by plugging back into the original equation and see if the left hand side is equal to the right hand side:

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

3{-(-2) + (2(-2) + 1)} ?= (-2) - 1

3{2 + (-4 + 1)} ?= -3

3{2 + (-3)} ?= -3

3{-1} ?= -3

-3 == -3

Thus, we have found the solution for x to be equivalent to negative 2.

Cheers.

Answer:

<h2>x = - 2</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

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

<u>First solve the terms in the bracket first</u>

That's

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

3( x + 1) = x - 1

<u>Expand the terms in the bracket</u>

We have

3x + 3 = x - 1

<u>Simplify</u>

3x - x = - 1 - 3

2x = - 4

Divide both sides by 2

We have the final answer as

<h3>x = - 2</h3>

Hope this helps you

The "one head and one tail" would be my best guess because you get one of each outcome, whereas the other two outcomes are two of the same outcome.
