Question 335957


{{{3(3x-2)-5x=2-2x}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{9x-6-5x=2-2x}}} Distribute.



{{{4x-6=2-2x}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{4x=2-2x+6}}} Add {{{6}}} to both sides.



{{{4x+2x=2+6}}} Add {{{2x}}} to both sides.



{{{6x=2+6}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{6x=8}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=(8)/(6)}}} Divide both sides by {{{6}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=4/3}}} Reduce.



----------------------------------------------------------------------


Answer:


So the solution is {{{x=4/3}}} which approximates to {{{x=1.333}}}.
