Explain in words how to solve for x in this equation

-3x = -33

Answer 1

Hey there!

-3x = -33

DIVIDE -3 to BOTH SIDES

-3x/-3 = -33/-3

CANCEL out: -3/-3 because it gives you 1

KEEP: -33/-3 because it gives you the x-value

NEW EQUATION: x = -33/-3

SIMPLIFY IT!

x = 11

Therefore, your answer is: x = 11

Good luck on your assignment & enjoy your day!
