-2(x + 3)
Distribute the -2 to both x and +3 since the -2 is outside of the parentheses
-2 * x = -2x
-2 * 3 = -6
Therefore, your answer is -2x - 6
Answer:
Yes, both shapes appear to be congruent.
Step-by-step explanation:
Both shapes are congruent.
<u>Reasoning:</u>
1) Both shapes are ovals.
2) Both shapes are of the same size.
3) Both shapes are just in a different position.
4) Shape 1 is rotated 90 degrees left or right to form shape 2.
Simplify:
6x + 6 = 3x - 15
Now use all solutions
6(7) + 6 = 3(7) - 15
42 + 6 = 21 - 15
Nearly, you can tell it doesn't work.
6(-7) + 6 = 3(-7) - 15
-42 + 6 = -21 - 15
-36 = -36
So, -7 is x.
