Simplifying -1x + -1 = 221 + 2x Reorder the terms: -1 + -1x = 221 + 2x Solving -1 + -1x = 221 + 2x Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-2x' to each side of the equation. -1 + -1x + -2x = 221 + 2x + -2x Combine like terms: -1x + -2x = -3x -1 + -3x = 221 + 2x + -2x

Combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0 -1 + -3x = 221 + 0 -1 + -3x = 221 Add '1' to each side of the equation. -1 + 1 + -3x = 221 + 1 Combine like terms: -1 + 1 = 0 0 + -3x = 221 + 1 -3x = 221 + 1 Combine like terms: 221 + 1 = 222 -3x = 222 Divide each side by '-3'. x = -74 Simplifying x = -74
