Question

Solve this equation. -3=x-(6-2x)

Answer 1

x = 1

Explanation:

Simplify both sides of equation

−3=x−(6−2x)

−3=x+−1(6−2x)(Distribute the Negative Sign)

−3=x+(−1)(6)+−1(−2x)

−3=x+−6+2x

−3=(x+2x)+(−6)(Combine Like Terms)

−3=3x+−6

−3=3x−6

Flip equation

3x−6=−3

Add 6 to both sides

3x−6+6=−3+6

3x=3

Divide both sides by 3

3x/3 = 3/3

x = 1
