Question

How do I solve -3(3+x)+(x-6)=-4 ?

Answer 1

`\huge\boxed{x=-(11)/(2)}`

Start by distributing the
`-3` to the
`(3+x)`.
`-3(3) + (-3)(x) + (x-6) = -4`

Multiply and simplify.
`-9-3x+(x-6)=-4`

Rearrange the terms.
`-3x+x-9-6=-4`

Combine like terms.
`-2x-15=-4`

Add
`15` on both sides.
`-2x=11`

Divide both sides of the equation by
`-2`.
`x=\boxed{-(11)/(2)}`
