Question

Solve for x please help (show work)

Answer 1

EXPLANATION :

`\frak{ (1)/(3)(6x - 3) + 2(x - 1) = - 7}`

`\twoheadrightarrow \frak{2x - 1 + 2x - 2 = - 7}`

`\twoheadrightarrow \frak{4x - 3 = - 7}`

`\twoheadrightarrow \frak{4x = - 7 + 3}`

`\twoheadrightarrow \frak{4x = - 4}`

`\star \: \underline{ \boxed{ \frak \green{{x = - 1}}}}`

Answer 2

x = -1

Explanation:

1/3(6x-3)+2(x-1) = -7

Distribute

2x-1 +2x-2 = -7

Combine like terms

4x -3 = -7

Add 3 to each side

4x-3+3 = -7+3

4x = -4

Divide by 4

4x/4 = -4/4

x = -1
