Answer:
x=-11
Step-by-step explanation:
3(1-3x)=2(-4x+7)
1) Distribute 3 to 1 and -3x:
3-9x=2(-4x+7)
2) Distribute 2 to -4x and 7:
3-9x=-8x+14
3) Subtract 3 from both sides::
-9x=-8x+11
4) Add 8x to both sides:
-1x=11
5) Divide both sides by -1:
x=-11
Footnotes:
-The Distributive property says a(b+c)=ab+ac
-When you have a negative variable, there is an implied (-1) before the variable :)
