Question

The solution to 9(x + 2) = 5 - 2(x - 1) is
1. -4
2. -1
3. - 5/6
4. 5/6

Answer 1

i think your answer would be 2. -1

Explanation:

Answer 2

-1

Explanation:

I am not certain but here

so you first distribute x and 2 with 9 to get 9x+18

then you do the same thing to the other side so you have -2x-2

so your problem should look like this

9x+18=5-2x+2

Next you will add 5 to 2 making it 7

next subtract 18 from 7 which leaves 11

9x=-2x-11

now add 2x to both sides

then you should end up will 11x=-11

simplify and you get -1
