3(x+1)+ 5=2x- 2
i need help with this equation

x = -10

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x+1) +5 = 2x -2

Distribute the 3 to the x+1

3x+3 +5 = 2x -2

Combine like terms

3x + 8 = 2x -2

Subtract 2x from both sides

x + 8 = -2

Subtract 8 from both sides

x = -10

Hope this helps!

x=-10

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x+1)+ 5=2x- 2

Distribute the 3

3(x+1)+ 5=2x- 2 would equal

3x+3+5=2x-2

Combine like terms

3x+3+5=2x-2

3+5=8 So,

3x+8=2x-2

You want to get the numbers with x on one side

Subtract 8 on both sides to get 3x by itself

3x+8-8=2x-2-8

3x=2x-10

Then you have to get the 2x on the other side because you still want x on the other side so you do -2x on both sides

Which gives you

x=-10

That is your answer

c: y > - 1/6x + 1

step-by-step explanation:

dashed line - meaning this < or > also not equal

solid line - meaning this < or > also equal

your answer is c because y > means up & it's shaded up, but y < means down

hope this ! : )
