Question

Solve 3x - 9x + 7 - 3 = -8.

6
-6
2
-2

Answer 1

Answer:

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

1. add like terms (3x-9x= -6x, 7-3= 4)
2. then move the constant to the right (-8+4=-12)
3. finally divide it by 6 which gives you "x"

Answer 2

Answer:

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

3x - 9x + 7 - 3 = -8

Combine like terms

-6x +4 = -8

Subtract 4 from each side

-6x +4-4 = -8-4

-6x = -12

Divide each side by -6

-6x/-6 = -12/-6

x = 2
