Solve For X2x91x12 class=

Sagot :

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

expanding the bracket, we would have

-2x -18 = -x+1+2

-2x+x= 3 +18

-x=21

x=-21

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

−2(x+9)=−1(x+−1)+2

Use distributive property

-2x - 18 = -1x + 1 +2

-2x - 18 = -1x + 3

      +18         +18

-2x = -1x +21

+1x    +1x

___________

-x = 21

we need to have a positive x so multiply x by -1. -x times -1 = x

What we do on the left side has to happen to the right side too

So, 21 times -1 = -21

Therefore, x = -21

Hope this helps :)
