Question

Solve the following question: 6x+18=3x−23

Answer 1

x = -41/3 (improper fraction)

x = -13 2/3 (mixed number)

Explanation:

6x+18=3x−23

Subtract 3x from each side

6x-3x+18=3x-3x−23

3x +18 = -23

Subtract 18 from each side

3x+18-18 = -23-18

3x = -41

3x/3 = -41/3

x = -41/3

x = -13 2/3

Answer 2

-13 2/3

Explanation:

1. 6x + 18 = 3x - 23 (Subtract 3x from both sides)

2. 3x + 18 = -23 (Subtract 18 from both sides)

3. 3x = -41 (divide both sides by 3)

4. x = -13 2/3
