Answer:
x = -1
Step by step:
6(1+3x)=−6x−18
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
6(1+3x)=−6x−18
(6)(1)+(6)(3x)=−6x+−18(Distribute)
6+18x=−6x+−18
18x+6=−6x−18
Step 2: Add 6x to both sides.
18x+6+6x=−6x−18+6x
24x+6=−18
Step 3: Subtract 6 from both sides.
24x+6−6=−18−6
24x=−24
Step 4: Divide both sides by 24.
24x
24
=
−24
