Question

-3(2x - 9) = 3(16-x)

Answer 1

-7

Explanation:

-6x +27 = 48 - 3x

-3x =21

x=-7

Answer 2

• 
  `-3\left(2x-9\right)=3\left(16-x\right)`

• 
  `-3\left(2x-9\right)`

• 
  `=-3\cdot \:2x-\left(-3\right)\cdot \:9`

• 
  `-3\cdot \:2x+3\cdot \:9`

• 
  `=-6x+3\cdot \:9`

• 
  `=-6x+27`

• 
  `3\left(16-x\right)`

• 
  `=3\cdot \:16-3x`

• 
  `=48-3x`

• 
  `-6x+27=48-3x`

• 
  `-6x+27-27=48-3x-27`

• 
  `-6x=-3x+21`

• 
  `-6x+3x=-3x+21+3x`

• 
  `-3x=21`

• 
  `(-3x)/(-3)=(21)/(-3)`

• 
  `x=-7`
