Question

Solve this problem:
2x-6=-3(5-x)

Answer 1

x = 9

Explanation:

You need to use PEDMAS (Parentheses, exponents, division, multiplication, addition, subtraction) to solve the equation.

1.) Begin by multiplying the values inside of the parentheses by the (-3).

2.) Isolate the variable by adding (15) to both sides.

2.) Isolate the variable by subtracting (2x) from both sides.

Starting Equation.) 2x - 6 = -3(5-x)

1.) 2x- 6 = -15 + 3x

2.) 2x + 9 = 3x

3.) 9 = x
