Question

Use a combination of inverse operations to solve the following equations.2(x-1) = -6

Answer 1

Given the following question:

`2(x-1)=-6`
`\begin{gathered} 2(x-1)=-6 \\ \text{ Divide by two} \\ -6/2=-3 \\ (2(x-1))/(2)=(x-1) \\ (x-1)=-3 \\ -1+1=0 \\ -3+1=-2 \\ x=-2 \end{gathered}`

Your answer is x = -2.
