Question

Solve for x: 3(x + 1) = −2(x − 1) + 6. (1 point) Select one: a. 1 b. 4 c. 5 d. 25

Answer 1

Isolate the variable by dividing each side by factors that don't contain the variable.

x = 1

Answer 2

Answer:

The answer is A.1

Step-by-step explanation:  3(x + 1) = −2(x − 1) + 6 is turned into 3+3=−2 +2+6 once it is distributed.

then when you add the numbers you get  3+3=−2 +8

Then subtract 3 from both sides of the equation.Then simplify and add 2x to both sides and combine the like terms.

Finally your left with 5x=5 then divide and you get 1.
