Question

What is the solution to this equation?

3x+x-13+4-6x=12


A. x= -21/2
B. x= 21/2
C. x= 3/2
D. x= -3/2

Answer 1

A

Explanation:

group the like terms

3x+x-6x-13+4=12

-2x=12+9

divide both sides by -2

-2x/-2=21/-2

x= -21/2

hope it helps

Answer 2

A.

Explanation:

3x + x - 13 + 4 - 6x = 12

we try to combine the elements with the same power of x (including the ones without any x) :

3x + x - 6x

-13 + 4

so, we get

-2x - 9 = 12

-2x = 21

x = -21/2
