Question

3x + 2(x + 5) = -2(x - 9) - 15
please give the answer and step-by-step

Answer 1

x = -1

Explanation:

Expand 2(x +5 ): 2x +10

Expand -2(x - 9) - 15: -2x + 3

Subtract 10 from both sides

Simplify it

Add 2x to both sides

Simplify it

Divide both sides by 7

Simplify it again...it will be x = -1
