Question

SOLVE FOR X ILL GIVE BRAINILEST

Answer 1

Answer:

x = -4

Explanation:

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

Answer 2

Answer:

x = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

• $(-2)(3x)+(-2)(-4)-x-3=33$
• $-6x +8 - x - 3 = 33$

• $(-6x-x)+(8-3)=33$
• $-7x + 5 = 33$  

Step 2: Subtract 5 from both sides.

• $-7x + 5 - 5 = 33 - 5$
• $-7x = 28$

Step 3: Divide both sides by -7.

• $\frac{-7x}{-7} =\frac{28}{-7}$
• $x = -4$

Step 4: Check if solution is correct.

• $-2(3(-4)-4)- (-4)-3=33$
• $-2(-12-4)+4-3=33$
• $(-2)(-12)+(-2)(-4)+4-3=33$
• $24 + 8 + 4 - 3 = 33$
• $32 + 4 - 3 = 33$
• $36 - 3 = 33$
• $33 = 33$

Therefore, x = -4.
