You can put this solution on YOUR website!
-3(x + 5) = 3(x - 1) When doing this problem, First multiply through both sides.
\n" ); document.write( "-3x - 15 = 3x -3 Remember when you multiply a negative by a positive it's a negative answer.
\n" ); document.write( "Next you add 3x to both sides of the equation:
\n" ); document.write( "-15 = 6x - 3 Now add three to both sides
\n" ); document.write( "-12 = 6x Now divide both sides by 6
\n" ); document.write( "-2 = x
\n" ); document.write( "Which is your answer!
