Question

3 upon bracket x minus 3 bracket group -2 is equals to - 1​

Answer 1

Answer:

(x−3)

3

​  

−2=−1

Variable x cannot be equal to 3 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by x−3.

3+(x−3)(−2)=−(x−3)

Use the distributive property to multiply x−3 by −2.

3−2x+6=−(x−3)

Add 3 and 6 to get 9.

9−2x=−(x−3)

To find the opposite of x−3, find the opposite of each term.

9−2x=−x+3

Add x to both sides.

9−2x+x=3

Combine −2x and x to get −x.

9−x=3

Subtract 9 from both sides.

−x=3−9

Subtract 9 from 3 to get −6.

−x=−6

Multiply both sides by −1.

x=6v
