SOLUTION: Can you show me how to simplify or solve for "x" in the following equations? 3(x+2)=-2(x+4) 2(x+1)=4-3(2x+1) 2(x+1)-3(x+7)=2 -3.6x+3.1=3(5.2-1.2x) I w

Question 155175: Can you show me how to simplify or solve for "x" in the following equations?
3(x+2)=-2(x+4)

2(x+1)=4-3(2x+1)

2(x+1)-3(x+7)=2

-3.6x+3.1=3(5.2-1.2x)

I would appreciate the help! Thank You =)
Answer by edjones(8007) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
3(x+2)=-2(x+4)
3x+6=-2x-8
5x=-14
x=-14/5
.
2(x+1)=4-3(2x+1)
2x+2=4-6x-3
2x+2=1-6x
8x=-1
x=-1/8
.
2(x+1)-3(x+7)=2
2x+2-3x-21=2
-x=21
x=-21
.
-3.6x+3.1=3(5.2-1.2x)
-3.6x+3.1=15.6-3.6x
there is no answer to this one since if 3.6x is added to each side the x's dissapear.
