Question

Find the value of x when 2(x - 3) + 1 = 3x + 4
A) -1
B) -1/5
C) -9/5
D) -9

Answer 1

Answer: -9

Step-by-step explanation: Distribute: 2x - 6 + 1= 3x + 4. Combine like terms on the left side: 2x - 5 = 3x + 4. Subtract 2x from both sides: -5 = x + 4. Subtract 4 from both sides: x = -9.

Answer 2

-1/5 is the answer because I have had this question before and I got it right
