Question

What is the value of x in this equation? 3x + 8 - 2(1 - x) = 1 Show how you got your
answer.

Answer 1

Answer: 3x + 8 - 2(1 - x) = 1 this equals -8

Step-by-step explanation: Can’t do that, sorry.

Answer 2

3x+8-2(1-x)=1

First, multiply 2x1 and 2x-x

3x+8-2+2x=1

Then rearrange the terms

3x+2x+8-2=1

Then combine like terms

5x+6=1

Then subtract 6 on both sides

5x=-5

Then divide 5 on both sides

x=-1
