Solve for x: 3x - 3 = 6x + 18

A. x = - 7
B. x = 9
C. x = 2
D. x = - 6

1 answer

First, we can simplify the equation by removing -3 from both sides:

3x - 3 + 3 = 6x + 18 + 3
3x = 6x + 21

Next, we can subtract 6x from both sides:

3x - 6x = 6x - 6x + 21
-3x = 21

Finally, divide by -3 to solve for x:

x = 21 / -3
x = -7

Therefore, the correct answer is:

A. x = -7
