Question

-3-23x=-14(x-21)-15(x+33)

Find (x)

Please I keep messing up somewhere so please show step by step

Answer 1

EQUATION (solve for X): −3−23x=−14(x−21)−15(x+33)

#1 Simplify

−3+−23x=(−14)(x)+(−14)(−21)+(−15)(x)+(−15)(33)

#2 Distribute & combine like terms

−3+−23x=−14x+294+−15x+−495

−23x−3=(−14x+−15x)+(294+−495)

−23x−3=−29x+−201

−23x−3=−29x−201

#3 Add 29X to both sides of the equation

−23x−3+29x=−29x−201+29x

6x−3=−201

#4 Add 3 to both sides of the equation

6x−3+3=−201+3

6x=−198

#5 Divide both sides by 6

6x/6=−198/6
