Match the equation with its corresponding solution for x.

3x-3(x+1)=3

x=-6
No solution
x=1
x=3
x=2
x=7

HURRY!

To solve for x, you need to isolate/get the variable "x" by itself in the equation:

3x - 3(x + 1) = 3 Distribute/multiply -3 into (x + 1)

3x + (-3)x + (-3)1 = 3

3x - 3x + 1 = 3

1 = 3

Your answer is no solution because the variable "x" is canceled out and 1 ≠ 3
