Celia · Answer 1

X = - 6.3

Step-by-step explanation:

24 = - 3 (x - 2) + 3

Distributive Property

24 = - 3x + 2 + 3

Addition

24 = - 3x + 5

Subtract 5 from each side

19 = - 3x

Divide by - 3 each side

-6.3 = X

(For it to be exactly 19, the answer would be - 6.33333333, anywhere from only 1 three or 7 threes the answer will be 18.99
