Answer: x = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
1 - 3x = 3x + 1
then add 3x on both sides
1 = 6x + 1
then subtract 1 on both sides
0 = 6x
then divide by 6 on both sides
0 = x
so x = 0
3 * 1 * -1 because 3 times one is 3 and that times a negative turns it into a negative. ( positive * negative = negative)
Answer:
x = -10
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Write equation
7 + 11x + 60 = -13 + 3x
Step 2: Solve for <em>x</em>
- Combine like terms: 11x + 67 = -13 + 3x
- Subtract 3x on both sides: 8x + 67 = -13
- Subtract 67 on both sides: 8x = -80
- Divide both sides by 8: x = -10
Step 3: Check
<em>Plug in x to verify it's a solution.</em>
7 + 11(-10) + 60 = -13 + 3(-10)
67 - 110 = -13 - 30
-43 = -43
