Question

Solve the equation
-35x = -2 ( 1 - 3x ) - ( -3x - 3 )

Answer 1

`- 35x = - 2(1 - 3x) - ( - 3x - 3) \\ - 35x = - 2 * 1 - 2 * - 3x - - 3x - - 3 \\ - 35x = - 2 + 6x + 3x + 3 \\ - 35x = 1 + 9x \\ - 35x - 9x = 1 \\ - 44x = 1 \\ x = ( - 1)/(44) =- .0227 \\ thank \: you`

Answer 2

Solution given:

-35x = -2 ( 1 - 3x ) - ( -3x - 3 )

open bracket

-35x=-2*1-2*-3x-1*-3x-1*-3

-35x=-2+6x+3x+3

solve like terms

-35x=-2+9x+3

subtracting both side by 9x

-35x-9x=-2+3

solve like terms

-44x=1

dividing both side by -44

-44x/-44=1/-44

x=-1/44
