Solve for x.

3 (2x-3) + 42-2=0

x = - 31/6 or - 5.16

Step-by-step explanation:

3 (2x-3) + 49 - 2 = 0

Distribute 3 through the parenthesis

3 (2x-3) + 49 - 2 = 0

6x - 9 + 42 - 2 = 0

Calculate the sum or difference

6x - 9 + 42 - 2 = 0

6x + 31 = 0

Move constant to the right side and change its sign

6x + 31 = 0

6x = - 31

Divide both sides of the equation by 6

6x = - 31

x = - 31/6 or - 5.16
