Bytelearn · Accepted Answer

Distribute negative sign: Distribute the negative sign inside the parentheses on the left side of the equation. 3x - (x - 1) = 3x - x + 1Distribute 3 inside parentheses: Distribute the 3 inside the parentheses on the right side of the equation. 3x - x + 1 = 3(-6x + 10) - 4 3x - x + 1 = -18x + 30 - 4Combine like terms right side: Combine like terms on the right side of the equation. 3x - x + 1 = -18x + 30 - 4 3x - x + 1 = -18x + 26Combine like terms left side: Combine like terms on the left side of the equation. 3x - x + 1 = -18x + 26 2x + 1 = -18x + 26Add 18x to both sides: Add 18x to both sides of the equation to get all x terms on one side. 2x + 1 + 18x = -18x + 26 + 18x 20x + 1 = 26Subtract 1 from both sides: Subtract 1 from both sides of the equation to isolate the term with x. 20x + 1 - 1 = 26 - 1 20x = 25Divide both sides: Divide both sides by 20 to solve for x. 20x / 20 = 25 / 20 x = 25 / 20 x = 1.25
