Question

solve each of the following equation and verify the answer in each case .
3(x-1)=2x-11

Answer 1

3x-3=2x-11
3x-2x=-11+3
x=-8

Answer 2

x = -9

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x-1) = 2x -11

or, 3x - 3 = 2x -11

rearranging the terms, we get

3x - 2x = -11 + 3

or, x = -9

CHECK:

Put x = -9 on both sides

Left hand side :  3 ( x-1) = 3 (-9-1) = 3 (-10) = -30

Right hand side : 2x -11 = 2(-9) -11 = -18 -11 = -30

Since LHS = RHS

Hence checked.
