Question

$$2x+x+6=0$$

Solve for x

$x=-2$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Combine $2x$ and $x$ to get $3x$.

$$3x+6=0$$

Subtract $6$ from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.

$$3x=-6$$

Divide both sides by $3$.

$$x=\frac{-6}{3}$$

Divide $-6$ by $3$ to get $-2$.

$$x=-2$$
