Question

Solve for x.
-x/3=2

x= -6
x= -1
x = 6

Answer 1

x = -6

Explanation:

Solve for x:

-x/3 = 2

Multiply both sides of -x/3 = 2 by -3:

(-3 (-x))/3 = -3×2

-3×(-1)/3 = (-3 (-1))/3:

(-3 (-1))/3 x = -3×2

(-3)/3 = (3 (-1))/3 = -1:

--1 x = -3×2

(-1)^2 = 1:

x = -3×2

-3×2 = -6:

Answer: x = -6
