Question

Can someone explain step by step how they would solve this.
2(3x-1)-x =2x-11

Answer 1

x = - 3

Explanation:

Given

2(3x - 1) - x = 2x - 11 ← distribute parenthesis on the left side and simplify

6x - 2 - x = 2x - 11

5x - 2 = 2x - 11 ( subtract 2x from both sides )

3x - 2 = - 11 ( add 2 to both sides )

3x = - 9 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = - 3

Answer 2

2(3x-1)-x=2x-11

6x-2-x=2x-11

5x-2=2x-11

3x-2=-11

3x=-9

Divide -9 by 3

Answer: x=-3
