Question

$$2(3x+5)=-44$$

Solve for x

$x=-9$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Divide both sides by $2$.

$$3x+5=\frac{-44}{2}$$

Divide $-44$ by $2$ to get $-22$.

$$3x+5=-22$$

Subtract $5$ from both sides.

$$3x=-22-5$$

Subtract $5$ from $-22$ to get $-27$.

$$3x=-27$$

Divide both sides by $3$.

$$x=\frac{-27}{3}$$

Divide $-27$ by $3$ to get $-9$.

$$x=-9$$
