-1(x + 2) = 2(3x - 6)
First, simplify 1 × (x + 2) to (x + 2) / Your problem should look like: \(-x - 2 = 2(3x - 6)\)
Second, expand. / Your problem should look like: \(-x - 2 = 6x - 12\)
Third, add x to both sides. / Your problem should look like: \(-2 = 6x - 12 + x\)
Fourth, simplify 6x - 12 + x to get 7x - 12. / Your problem should look like: \(-2 = 7x - 12\)
Fifth, add 12 to both sides. / Your problem should look like: \(-2 + 12 = 7x\)
Sixth, add -2 + 12 to get 10. / Your problem should look like: \(10 = 7x\)
Seventh, divide both sides by 7. / Your problem should look like: \(\frac{10}{7} = x\)
Eighth, switch your sides. / Your problem should look like: \(x = \frac{10}{7}\)
Answer: x = \(\frac{10}{7}\)
Answer as decimal: 1.4286
