Question

$$2-3(2+3x)=14$$

Solve for x

$x=-2$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Use the distributive property to multiply $-3$ by $2+3x$.

$$2-6-9x=14$$

Subtract $6$ from $2$ to get $-4$.

$$-4-9x=14$$

Add $4$ to both sides.

$$-9x=14+4$$

Add $14$ and $4$ to get $18$.

$$-9x=18$$

Divide both sides by $-9$.

$$x=\frac{18}{-9}$$

Divide $18$ by $-9$ to get $-2$.

$$x=-2$$
