Question

-2+3x=-(x+6) solve for x

Answer 1

X=-1

Explanation:

First, add 2 on both sides to eliminate -2 and to get 3x alone. Now you have the product of 3x=-x-4. Next, add x on both sides to isolate negative 4. Once, you have done this you get 4x=-4. Now you divide by 4 to get x alone. And you get the product x= -1.

Answer 2

x = -1

Explanation:

-2+3x=-(x+6) distrbute the negative

-2+3x=-x-6 combine liked terms (added x & 2 to each side)

+2 +x +x +2

4x = -4 isolate x (divide 4 from each side)

x = -1
