Solve the equation. Show each step along the way and click the button to check your work
2(1 - x) + 3 = -8

Answer

To solve the equation 2(1 - x) + 3 = -8, follow these steps:

  1. Distribute the 2: 2 - 2x + 3 = -8
  2. Combine like terms: 5 - 2x = -8
  3. Subtract 5 from both sides: -2x = -13
  4. Divide both sides by -2: x = 13/2 or x = 6.5
