Answer:

x=-113

Explanation:

2(3x+4)−3(x−1)=x−1x

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

2(3x+4)−3(x−1)=x−1x

(2)(3x)+(2)(4)+(−3)(x)+(−3)(−1)=x+−1x(Distribute)

6x+8+−3x+3=x+−x

(6x+−3x)+(8+3)=(x+−x)(Combine Like Terms)

3x+11=0

3x+11=0

Step 2: Subtract 11 from both sides.

3x+11−11=0−11

3x=−11

Step 3: Divide both sides by 3.

3x3=−113

x=−113

Answer:

x=−113
