Question 3 of 25 Solve the equation for x. If necessary, enter fractions in lowest terms, using the slash (7) as a fraction bar. -2(x + 1) - 3 = -9

Answer 1

Solving the equation, we have:

`\begin{gathered} -2(x+1)-3=-9_{} \\ -2x-2-3=-9 \\ -2x-5=-9 \\ -2x=-9+5 \\ -2x=-4 \\ 2x=4 \\ x=2 \end{gathered}`

So we have that x = 2.
