Answer:
x=-7/9
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this equation we would consider the bracket first according to BODMAS rule
B ..... Bracket open
O........ Of
D,............. Division
M............. Multiplication
A.............. Addition
S............. Subtraction
So, from the question
-3( x +3) = 3(x+1)-5
-3x -9 = 3x + 3 - 5
Collecting like terms
-3x -3x = 3-5+9
-9x= 7
Dividing both sides by -9
-9x/-9= 7/-9
x=-7/9
Answer:
no solution
Step-by-step explanation:
−3(x + 3) = −3(x + 1) − 5.
Distribute
-3x-9 = -3x-3-5
Combine like terms
-3x-9 =-3x-8
Add 3x to each side
-3x-9+3x = -3x-8+3x
-9 = -8
This is never true so there is no solution
