Question

Solve the equation 3x-1 = -7

Answer 1

Answer: x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

first, we move the constant to the right.

3x = -7 + 1

then, we calculate that.

3x = -6

finally, we divide both sides.

x = -2

Answer 2

3x-1=-7
Move the constant to the right side and change its sign
3x=-7+1
Now you sum up the equation
3x=-6
Divide 3 by both sides in this solution
x=-2, therefore x=-2 is the answer you are looking for
