Answer:
x=−2
Explanation:
Simplify both sides of the equation.
3(−x+2x+1)=x−1
Distribute
(3)(−x)+(3)(2x)+(3)(1)=x+−1
−3x+6x+3=x+−1
Combine Like Terms
(−3x+6x)+(3)=x−1
3x+3=x−1
3x+3=x−1
Subtract x from both sides.
3x+3−x=x−1−x
2x+3=−1
Subtract 3 from both sides.
2x+3−3=−1−3
2x=−4
Divide both sides by 2.
2x/2=−4/2
x=-2
