Question

-3x+3=-7x-1 and you solve for x

Answer 1

Answer:x=-1

add 1 to 3 to get 4, add 3 to -7 to get -4, divide both sides by -4

Answer 2

• -1

`\:`

Explanation:

Given Equation,

`\\ {\longrightarrow \qquad{ \sf{-3x+3=-7x-1}}}\\ \\`

Adding 7x to both sides we get,

`{\longrightarrow \qquad{ \sf{-3x+3 + 7x=-7x-1 + 7x}}}\\ \\`

`{\longrightarrow \qquad{ \sf{4x+3=-1}}}\\ \\`

Subracting -3 from sides we get,

`\\ {\longrightarrow \qquad{ \sf{4x+3 - 3=-1 - 3}}}\\ \\`

`{\longrightarrow \qquad{ \sf{4x=-4}}}\\ \\`

Dividing both sides by 4 we get,

`\\ {\longrightarrow \qquad{ \sf{ (4x)/(4) = ( - 4)/(4) }}}\\ \\`

`{\longrightarrow \qquad{ \sf{x=-1}}}\\ \\`
