Solve for x
3x + 18 = - 39
Divide each side by 3
| 3x | |
| 3 |
| = |
| 18 |
| 3 |
Group constants
Group our constants 18 and -39.
subtract 18 from both sides
3x + 18 - 18 = -39 - 18
Cancel 18 on the left side:
3x = -57
Divide each side of the equation by 3
| 3x | |
| 3 |
| = |
| -57 |
| 3 |
x = - 19
Final Answer
x = - 19
