Question

Solve the equations .
3(x+1)+2(x-1) = x-2​

Answer 1

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

3x + 3 + 2x - 2 = x - 2

5x + 1 = x - 2

4x = -3

x = -3/4

Answer 2

Answer:

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

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

3x+3+2x-2=x-2

Combine 3x and 2x to get 5x.

5x+3-2=x-2

Subtract 2 from 3 to get 1.

5x+1=x-2

Combine 5x and -x to get 4x.

4x+1=-2

Subtract 1 from both sides.

4x=-2-1

Subtract 1 from -2 to get -3.

4x=-3

Divide both sides by 4.

x= -3/4

Hope it helps :)
