Solve for x : 3x−3=6x+18 .(1 point)

1 answer

To solve for x, we need to isolate x on one side of the equation.

First, let's simplify the equation by combining like terms on the right side:
3x - 3 = 6x + 18

Next, let's get all the x terms on one side by subtracting 3x from both sides:
-3 = 3x + 18

Now, let's isolate x by subtracting 18 from both sides:
-21 = 3x

Finally, let's solve for x by dividing both sides by 3:
x = -7

Therefore, the solution is x = -7.
