Question

–2(3x – 1) = –6x – 1

Answer 1

get rid of the parenthesis by multiplying
it becomes
-6x+2=-6x-1
then, i would add one to each side
-6x+3=-6x
subtract -6x from each side
3=-12x
then divide each side by -12. this would make x equal to -3/12 or -1/4

Answer 2

Move all terms to the left side and set equal to zero. Then set each factor equal to zero.

Exact Form:x=4+√22/6,4−√22/6
