Question

Solve 6 – 6(x – 2) = 3(3x + 1)

Answer 1

`\huge\boxed{x=1}`

Explanation:

When simplifying down an expression, our goal is to isolate the variable (x) on one side by reversing the equation.

Apply the distributive property on the left and right side:

`6 -6x + 12 = 9x + 3`

Combine like terms on the left side:

`-6x+18 = 9x + 3`

Add 6x to both sides:

`18 = 15x+3`

Subtract 3 from both sides:

`15=15x`

Divide both sides by 15:

`1=x\\x=1`
