Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.
If there is more than one solution, separate them with commas.

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 0.75 and or x = -0.38

Step-by-step explanation:

If the minus sign after the x was on purpose or if you accidentally put the addition sign after the minus or the other way around basically I have no idea if the solution I provided is correct so here's the solution to both possible equations you might have meant to type instead (and if this was intentional then awesome):

1. 2x - 6x = -3 and 2. 2x + 6x = -3

Let's do 1. first!

$2x-6x=-3$

Simplify 2x-6x to -4x

$-4x=-3$

Divide each side by -4

$x=\frac{-3}{-4}$

And as you know, two negatives equal/make a positive

$x=\frac{3}{4}$ or $x=0.75$

Now! Let's solve for 2.

$2x+6x=-3$

Simplify 2x+6x to 8x

$8x=-3$

Divide both sides by 8

$x=\frac{-3}{8}$

$x=-\frac{3}{8}$ or $x=-0.375$
