Myla Harrington · Answer 1

Answer: - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

First you get the - 2x by it self, so you minis 1 to 3

So now you have

2=-2x

Now you divide them 2 divided by - 2

So you get - 1

I believe sorry if my math isn't correct

Jimenez · Answer 2

Subtract 1 from both sides

3 - 1 = - 2x

Simplify 3 - 1 to 2

2 = - 2x

Divide both sides by - 2

-1 = x

Switch sides

x = - 1
