Solve for x. -3(3x+3)= -2x+5

x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

So we are given the equation -3(3x + 3) = -2x + 5 and we are solving for x. We will have to try to get the equation into the form x = _. That would be our answer.

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

Distribute the -3 on the left side.

-9x - 9 = -2x + 5

Add 2x to both sides to get rid of the -2x on the right side.

-9x - 9 + 2x = 5

Simplify.

-7x - 9 = 5

Add 9 to both sides to get rid of the - 9 on the left side.

-7x = 5 + 9

Simplify.

-7x = 14

Divide both sides by -7 to get rid of the coefficient of -7 on the left side.

x = 14 ÷ (-7)

Simplify.

x = -2

The answer is x = -2.
