Sagot :
Answer:
x = 0.75 and or x = -0.38
Step-by-step explanation:
If the minus sign after the x was on purpose or if you accidentally put the addition sign after the minus or the other way around basically I have no idea if the solution I provided is correct so here's the solution to both possible equations you might have meant to type instead (and if this was intentional then awesome):
1. 2x - 6x = -3 and 2. 2x + 6x = -3
Let's do 1. first!
[tex]2x-6x=-3[/tex]
Simplify 2x-6x to -4x
[tex]-4x=-3[/tex]
Divide each side by -4
[tex]x=\frac{-3}{-4}[/tex]
And as you know, two negatives equal/make a positive
[tex]x=\frac{3}{4}[/tex] or [tex]x=0.75[/tex]
Now! Let's solve for 2.
[tex]2x+6x=-3[/tex]
Simplify 2x+6x to 8x
[tex]8x=-3\\[/tex]
Divide both sides by 8
[tex]x=\frac{-3}{8}[/tex]
[tex]x=-\frac{3}{8}[/tex] or [tex]x=-0.375[/tex]
