Question

$$2x=-3x-4-6x-6$$

Solve for x

$x=-\frac{10}{11}\approx -0.909090909$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Combine $-3x$ and $-6x$ to get $-9x$.

$$2x=-9x-4-6$$

Subtract $6$ from $-4$ to get $-10$.

$$2x=-9x-10$$

Add $9x$ to both sides.

$$2x+9x=-10$$

Combine $2x$ and $9x$ to get $11x$.

$$11x=-10$$

Divide both sides by $11$.

$$x=\frac{-10}{11}$$

Fraction $\frac{-10}{11}$ can be rewritten as $-\frac{10}{11}$ by extracting the negative sign.

$$x=-\frac{10}{11}$$
