Question

What is the solution to the equation 3(x - 1) – 2(2x + 1) = S(x - 1)?

Answer 1

s=

−x−5

x−1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve for s.

3(x−1)−2(2x+1)=s(x−1)

Step 1: Flip the equation.

sx−s=−x−5

Step 2: Factor out variable s.

s(x−1)=−x−5

Step 3: Divide both sides by x-1.

s(x−1)

x−1

=

−x−5

x−1

s=

−x−5

x−1
