Forgot how to do this please help, thank you.

3m + 2x=-3, solve for x

Answer 1

x=\frac{-3-3m}{2}

Explanation:

1st step: Subtract 3m from both sides. 3m+2x-3m=-3-3m

2nd step: Simplify. 2x=-3-3m

3rd step: Divide both sides by 2. \frac{2x}{2}=-\frac{3}{2}-\frac{3m}{2}

Final step: Simplify. x=\frac{-3-3m}{2}

Answer 2

`\boxed{x =(-3m-3)/(2)}`

Explanation:

`3m + 2x=-3`

`\sf Subtract \ 3m \ from \ both \ sides.`

`3m + 2x-3m=-3-3m`

`2x=-3-3m`

`\sf Divide \ both \ sides \ by \ 2.`

`\displaystyle (2x)/(2) =(-3-3m)/(2)`

`\displaystyle x =(-3m-3)/(2)`
