What is negative 3 plus 2x equals negative x plus 6?

Answer 1

Equation: -3+2x = -x + 6

Like Terms:

2x + (x) = 6 + (3)

Move the -x to the left (becomes +x) and move the -3 to the right (becomes +3)

We now have:

3x = 9

Divide both sides by 3:

(3x)/3 = 9/3

The solution is:

x = 3

Check:

-3 + 2(3) = -(3) + 6

-3 + 6 = 6 - 3

0 = 0, solution is correct
