Answer:

x = -4

Explanation:

-2(3x - 4) - x - 3 = 33

solve the brackets first

-6x + 8 -x -3 = 33

-6x - x + 8 - 3 = 33

-7x + 5 = 33

-7x = 33-5

-7x = 28

x = 28/ -7

x = -4

Answer:

x = -4

Explanation:

-2(3x - 4) - x - 3 = 33

~Simplify

-6x + 8 - x - 3

-7x + 5 = 33

~Subtract 3 to both sides

-7x = 28

~Divide -7 to both sides

x = -4

Best of Luck!
