Question

If 3(2x+3)+11=-2(x-3)-18 what is the value of x

Answer 1

x = -4

Explanation:

Step 1: Distribute

3(2x + 3) + 11 = -2(x - 3) - 18

6x + 9 + 11 = -2x + 6 - 18

Step 2: Combine like terms

6x + 9 + 11 = -2x + 6 - 18

6x + 20 + 2x - 20 = -2x - 12 + 2x - 20

8x / 8 = -32 / 8

x = -4

Answer: x = -4
