Question

What is this equation?
6= -3(x+2)

Answer 1

`\text {Hello! Let's Solve this Problem!}`

`\text {\underline {The First Step is to Flip The Equation}}`

`\text {Before: 6= -3(x+2)}\\\text {After: -3(x+2)=6}`

`\text {\underline {The Next Step is to Simplify the Equation}}`

`\text {-3*x=-3x}\\\text {-3*2=-6}`

`\text {Your New Problem Should Be: -3x-6=6}`

`\text {\underline {The Next Step is to Add 6 to Both Sides}}`

`\text {-3x-6+6 (-6+6 crosses out because it'll equal 0}\\\text {6+6=12}`

`\text {To get x by itself we must divide now}`

`\text {\underline {The Final Step is to Divide Both Sides by -3}}`

`\text {-3x/-3=0 (this crosses out each other. Leaving x by itself)}\\\text {12/-3=}`

`\text {Your Answer Would Be:}`

`\huge\boxed {x=-4}`

`\text {Best of Luck!}`

Answer 2

6=−3−6

Explanation:

6=-3(x+2)

6=-3x-6
