Q. Solve for x and write your answer in simplest form.6x−(9x−23)=−2(3x−45)+2Answer: x=
Distribute and Simplify: First, we need to distribute the negative sign inside the parentheses on the left side of the equation and distribute −2 on the right side of the equation.6x−9x+23=−2×3x+2×45+2
Combine Like Terms: Now, let's simplify both sides of the equation by combining like terms. −3x+23=−6x+25+2
Convert and Combine Constants: Next, we convert 2 to a fraction with the same denominator as 25 to combine the constants on the right side.−3x+23=−6x+25+24
Add/Subtract to Isolate x: Now, we combine the constants on the right side.−3x+23=−6x+29
Combine Like Terms: Next, we add 6x to both sides to get all the x terms on one side.−3x+6x+23=−6x+6x+29
Isolate x Term: Simplify the equation by combining like terms. 3x+23=29
Simplify Constants: Now, we subtract 23 from both sides to isolate the x term.3x+23−23=29−23
Simplify Fraction: Simplify the equation by combining the constants. 3x=26
Solve for x: Simplify the fraction on the right side.3x=3
Final Answer: Finally, divide both sides by 3 to solve for x.x=33
Final Answer: Finally, divide both sides by 3 to solve for x. x=33 Simplify the fraction to get the final answer. x=1
