Nigel Duffy · Answer 1

x = - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

3x = x - 6

2x = - 6

x=-3

Troy Welch · Answer 2

n = - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Symbolically, 3n = n - 6.

Subtracting n from both sides, to yield 2n, results in 2n = - 6.

Dividing both sides by 2 yields the final solution: n = - 3
