Question 10914: -(x+1)=2(3x-1)
Answer by kinupanda(9) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!

... distribute the negative sign on the left
... distribute the 2 on the right
... add x to both sides
... add 2 to both sides
... divide both sides by 7

Thus, x = 1/7. To check, we substitute 1/7 in for x in the original equality, and see if it holds true.

... yes!
