Question

Solve.
5-(x-6)=-7+3(-x+2)

Answer 1

5-x+6=-7-3x+6
combine like terma
11-x=-1-3x
add 3x to both sides
11+2x=-1
subtract 11 from both sides
2x=-12
x=-6

Answer 2

x=-6

Explanation:

For this equation, when we remove the parenthesis, we get 5-x+6=-7+-3x+6.

Then we simplify both sides of the equation, so we get 11-x=-1-3x. When we separate the numbers and variables, we get -12=-2x. -12/2 = -6.
