Solving multi step equation
6=-3(x+2)

x=-4

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by distributing the -3 to both x and 2 (This is called the distributive property)

After using the distributive property your equation should look like this:

6=-3x-6

Now add 6 to both sides! Your equation should now look like this:

12=-3x

Now divide both sides by -3! Your equation should now look like this:

-4=x

You can rearrange -4=x to x=-4 as your final answer!

x = 17

step-by-step explanation:

1st step: isolate x.

24 - 3x = -27

-24         -24

-3x   =   -51

2nd step: divide.

-3x     =   -51

  3             3

  x       =     17
