If -3( x+2)-5=x-(6+x),what is the value of 1/3-x?

The value of x is -5/3.

The value of 1/3 - x is 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

-3( x+2)-5=x-(6+x)          Distribute

-3x + -6 - 5 = x - 6 - x      Combine llike terms

-3x + -11    = -6              POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE IS NEGATIVE

      -3x -11 =  -6              Add 11 on both sides

            -3x = 5            Isolate the variable by dividing -3 on both sides

              x  =  -5/3

1/3 - x

= 1/3 - -5/3   NEGATIVE AND NEGATIVE IS POSITIVE

= 1/3 + 5/3

= 6/3

= 2

You must isolate the variable in order to solve equations with variables.

Isolating variable is basically when you divide, multiply, add, or subtract to put a variable on ONLY one side of the equation.

the answer is 0.071

good luck! : d

the answer is d. 75%
