Question

$$\frac{2x+2}{6}=\frac{3x-3}{30}$$

Solve for x

$x = -\frac{13}{7} = -1\frac{6}{7} \approx -1.857142857$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides of the equation by $30$, the least common multiple of $6,30$.

$$5\left(2x+2\right)=3x-3$$

Use the distributive property to multiply $5$ by $2x+2$.

$$10x+10=3x-3$$

Subtract $3x$ from both sides.

$$10x+10-3x=-3$$

Combine $10x$ and $-3x$ to get $7x$.

$$7x+10=-3$$

Subtract $10$ from both sides.

$$7x=-3-10$$

Subtract $10$ from $-3$ to get $-13$.

$$7x=-13$$

Divide both sides by $7$.

$$x=\frac{-13}{7}$$

Fraction $\frac{-13}{7}$ can be rewritten as $-\frac{13}{7}$ by extracting the negative sign.

$$x=-\frac{13}{7}$$
