Question

6 = -3(x + 2)Find x.

Answer 1

-4

Step-by-step explanation

We want to find the value of x in:

6 = -3(x + 2)

To do that, first, expand the bracket:

6 = -3(x) + (-3 * 2)

6 = -3x - 6

Now, collect like terms:

=> 3x = -6 - 6

3x = -12

Divide through by 3:

x = -12 / 3

x = -4

That is the value of x.
