Question

Solve the equation 3(3-2x)=2x-11

Answer 1

x = 2,5

Explanation:

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

Multiply every term inside the bracket by the term on the outside:

9 - 6x = 2x - 11

Collect like terms and add them together (also, when moving the terms to the other side, the sign changes to the opposite)

-6x - 2x = -11 - 9

-8x = -20 / : (-8)

x = 2,5
