Which of the following values of x will result in a true statement when substituted into the given equation? -3(x – 2) = 9 A. x = 1 B. x = -1 C. x = 3 D. x = -3.

Answer 1

B. x = -1

Explanation:

-3(x - 2) = 9

Divide both sides by the coefficient of (x - 2) which is -3

`(-3(x - 2))/(-3) =(9)/(-3)`

x - 2 = -3

Add 2 to both sides of the equation

x - 2 + 2 = -3 + 2

x = -1

Hope this helps :)
