3x - 3 = 6x - 18

To solve for x, we can first simplify the equation:

3x - 3 = 6x - 18

By adding 3x to both sides:

-3 = 3x - 18

Next, add 18 to both sides:

15 = 3x

Finally, divide by 3 to solve for x:

x = 5

Therefore, the solution is x = 5.

Let's check each option by substituting the value of x into the original equation and see which one satisfies the equation.

1. x = -7

3(-7) - 3 = 6(-7) - 18
-21 - 3 = -42 - 18
-24 ≠ -60 (false)

2. x = 2

3(2) - 3 = 6(2) - 18
6 - 3 = 12 - 18
3 ≠ -6 (false)

3. x = -6

3(-6) - 3 = 6(-6) - 18
-18 - 3 = -36 - 18
-21 ≠ -54 (false)

4. x = 9

3(9) - 3 = 6(9) - 18
27 - 3 = 54 - 18
24 = 36 (false)

Thus, none of the given options satisfy the equation 3x - 3 = 6x - 18.

which ones closest

To find the closest approximate solution, let's plug in a few numbers to see which one is closest to satisfying the equation:

Let's try x = -6

3(-6) - 3 = 6(-6) - 18
-18 - 3 = -36 - 18
-21 = -54

Let's try x = 2

3(2) - 3 = 6(2) - 18
6 - 3 = 12 - 18
3 = -6

Since -21 is closer to -18 than 3 is to -6, the closest approximate solution would be x = -6.

4x + 8 = 3x - 10

Bot GPT 3.5 Bot GPT 3.5 answered

To solve for x, we can simplify the equation:

4x + 8 = 3x - 10

By subtracting 3x from both sides:

4x - 3x + 8 = -10

Simplify:

x + 8 = -10

Subtract 8 from both sides:

x = -18

Therefore, the solution is x = -18.
