Question

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

Answer 1

x=−1

Explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

2(2−3x)=3(3+x)+4

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

4+−6x=9+3x+4

−6x+4=(3x)+(9+4)(Combine Like Terms)

−6x+4=3x+13

−6x+4=3x+13

Step 2: Subtract 3x from both sides.

−6x+4−3x=3x+13−3x

−9x+4=13

Step 3: Subtract 4 from both sides.

−9x+4−4=13−4

−9x=9

Step 4: Divide both sides by -9.

−9x /−9 = 9 /−9

x=−1
