Answer:

-4x-6x=-20=

x=2

-3(2x-3)=33=

x=-4

4x+3x+2x=180

x=20

Explanation:

-4x-6x=-20

-4+(-6)=-10x

-10x=20 (divide both by 10)

x=-2 (divide by -1 to get positive)

x=2

-3(2x-3)=33

-6x+9=33

-9 . -9

-6x=24 (divide both by -6)

x=-4 (divide by -1 to make positive)

4x+3x+2x=180

(combine like terms)

9x=180 (divide both sides by 9)

x=20
