Question

1-2(x + 1) = -3(1 + x) +7

Answer 1

Answer:

x= 5

Step-by-step explanation:

1-2(x + 1) = -3(1 + x) +7

1-2x-2= -3-3x+7

-1-2x= 4-3x

-2x+3x= 4+1

x= 5

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

$1-2(x+1)=-3(1+x)+7$

Use the distributive property to multiply -2 by x+1.

$1-2x-2=-3\left(1+x\right)+7$

Subtract 2 from 1 to get -1.

$-1-2x=-3\left(1+x\right)+7$

Use the distributive property to multiply -3 by 1+x.

$-1-2x=-3-3x+7$

Add -3 and 7 to get 4.

$-1-2x=4-3x$

Add 3x to both sides.

$-1-2x+3x=4$

Combine -2x and 3x to get x.

$-1+x=4$

Add 1 to both sides.

$x=4+1$

$x=5$
