SimplifyOkie dokie so first things first, you have to get rid of those parentheses! To do this you use the distributive property. -3(x+2) is the same thing as -3(x)+-3(2). that and you get -9=-3x-6. So you want to get x by itself to be able to find what x is, so you add 6 to both sides of the equation to get rid of the -6. So then you get -3=-3x. Then you must divide both sides by the coefficient of x, which would be -3. When you divide both sides by -3 you get -3/-3=x, which is the same thing as 1=x. Hope this helped!
