Question
Solve the following equations
$-2(3 x+3)=8$
$-2(3 x+3)=8$
✓
Answer
Given, equation -2(3x+3)=8
Dividing both sides by -2, we get
$(3 x+3)=-4$
$\Rightarrow
3 x=-4-3 \Rightarrow x=-\frac{7}{3}$
$\therefore x=-\frac{7}{3}$ is the required solution.
Dividing both sides by -2, we get
$(3 x+3)=-4$
$\Rightarrow
3 x=-4-3 \Rightarrow x=-\frac{7}{3}$
$\therefore x=-\frac{7}{3}$ is the required solution.
