Solving Linear Equations Question 6 of 10 What is the solution to this equation? - 6x + 3 = 21 A. X = -3 B. X = 3 C. X= -4D. x = 4

Answer 1

To solve this equation:

`-6x+3=21`

We can proceed as follows:

Subtract 3 from both sides of the equation:

`-6x+3=21\rightarrow-6x+3-3=21-3`
`-6x+0=21-3\rightarrow-6x=18`

Divide both sides by -6:

`(-6)/(-6)x=(18)/(-6)\rightarrow x=-3`

So, the solution for the equation is x = -3.
