Solve for x:
-3(x+1) = 2(x-8)+3 First, apply the "distributive property" to both sides of the equation.
-3x-3 = 2x-16+3 Simplify.
-3x-3 = 2x-13 Add 3x to both sides.
-3 = 5x-13 Add 13 to both sides.
10 = 5x Finally, divide both sides by 5.
2 = x or x = 2
Check: Substitute x = 2 in the original equation.
-3(2+1) = 2(2-8)+3 Simplify.
-6-3 = 4-16+3 Evaluate.
-9 = 7-16
-9 = -9 It checks!
