Question

Please help quick!!! -(7-3x) =2

Answer 1

`x = 3`

Explanation:

`-(7 - 3x) = 2 \text{ // Expand left side}\\-1 * 7 + -1* -3x = 2\\\to -7 + 3x = 2 \text{ // Add 7 on both sides}\\-7 + 3x + 7 = 2 + 7\\\to 3x = 9 \text{ // Divide by 3 on both sides}\\\frac{3x}3 = \frac93\\\to x = 3`

Answer 2

x=3

Explanation:

you distribute the numbers in parentheses which makes it

-7+3x=2

add 7 on both sides the it will be

3x+9

divide 3 on both sides then you will be left with

x=3
