Question

3 (x+3) =-6 i dont know how to solve thie equation i need help

Answer 1

Answer: -5

Step-by-step explanation: First multiply (x+3) by 3. You should get 3x + 9 = -6. Then you are supposed to isolate the X and to do this we first get rid of the 9. To do this we subtract nine on both sides and you should get 3x = -6 - 9. You can add the negative 9 and the negative 6 to get negative 15 ( 3x = -15). Now you need to isolate the x in (3x) and to do this we need to divide by three on both sides. When you divide three on both sides (3x) becomes X and (-15) becomes -5. SO [X = -5]

Answer 2

First distribute the 3.
3x+9=-6
Then subtract 9 from both sides.
3x=-15
Now divide both sides by 3.
So x=-5

Check: 3(-5+3)=-15+9=-6
It works!
