Solution - Linear equations with one unknown

Rearrange:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

                     -1-(6*x/2)=0 

Step by step solution :

Step  1  :

            x
 Simplify   —
            2

Equation at the end of step  1  :

             x
  -1 -  (6 • —)  = 0 
             2

Step  2  :

Step  3  :

Pulling out like terms :

 3.1     Pull out like factors :

   -3x - 1  =   -1 • (3x + 1) 

Equation at the end of step  3  :

  -3x - 1  = 0 

Step  4  :

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

 4.1      Solve  :    -3x-1 = 0 

 Add  1  to both sides of the equation : 
                      -3x = 1
Multiply both sides of the equation by (-1) :  3x = -1


Divide both sides of the equation by 3:
                     x = -1/3 = -0.333
