We are asked to solve the equation [tex]\pmb{2x+3=-1}[/tex].

[tex]\triangle~\fbox{\bf{KEY:}}[/tex]

  • The goal is to isolate x.

First, subtract 3 from both sides of the equal sign:

[tex]\mathrm{2x=-1-3}[/tex]

[tex]\mathrm{2x=-4}[/tex]

Now, divide both sides by 2:

[tex]\mathrm{x=-2}[/tex]

Hope it helps you out! :D
