Question

What is 4 - 3x = 2 ( x - 3)?

Answer 1

Steps to solve:

4 - 3x = 2(x - 3)

~Distribute

4 - 3x = (2 * x) + (2 * -3)

~Simplify

4 - 3x = 2x - 6

~Subtract 4 to both sides

4 - 4 - 3x = 2x - 6 - 4

~Simplify

-3x = 2x - 10

~Subtract 2x to both sides

-3x - 2x = 2x - 2x - 10

~Siimplfy

-5x = -10

~Divide -5 to both sides

-5x/-5 = -10/-5

~Simplify

x = 2
