Question

What value of x satisfies the equation?

Answer 1

The answer is x=-2

Explanation: There are two ways you can solve this equation. The easiest (but longer) way is to plug every answer (A, B, C, and D) as your x value and solve to see which one will equal -9. The second way is to isolate x to one side of the equation through simplifying.

Hope this helped!

Answer 2

Answer: The answer is D

Step-by-step explanation: First you distribute the 2 by x and 2 so you get 2x + 4 then you distribute -3 by x and -1 so you get -3x + 3 then you add up the two equations then yo get -x + 7 = 9 then you subtract the 7 on both sides so you get x = -2
