Question

solve the equation and simplify your answer. 3x - (2x - 1) = 6x + 11 x = ?

Explanation:

Step1: Remove parentheses, distribute negative sign

$3x - 2x + 1 = 6x + 11$

Step2: Combine like terms on left side

$x + 1 = 6x + 11$

Step3: Isolate x terms to one side

$x - 6x = 11 - 1$

Step4: Simplify both sides

$-5x = 10$

Step5: Solve for x by dividing

$x = \frac{10}{-5}$

Answer:

$x = -2$
