3(x + 1) - 2x = -6 |use distributive property: a(b + c) = ab + ac
3x + 3 - 2x = -6
x + 3 = -6 |subtract 3 from both sides
x = -9
Answer:
-4
Step-by-step explanation:
trust me im smart
C. The first is a solution, but the second is not.
5x - y/3 = 13 ; (2,-9)
substitute the letters:
5(2) - (-9/3) = 13
10 - (-3) = 13 : note that deducting a number with a negative sign turns both sign as positive.
10 + 3 = 13 ;
13 = 13
5x - y/3 = 13 ; (3,-6)
5(3) - (-6/3) = 13
15 - (-2) = 13
15 + 2 = 13
17 = 13 not equal. not a solution
hope i could help
As we are given with
we are supposed to simplify this expression. which can be done as below
The solution for that proplem is X=4,1
