Question
Solve the equation
x=1
Evaluate
−2(3x−3)+4x−4=0
Calculate the sum or difference
More Steps

Evaluate
−2(3x−3)+4x−4
Expand the expression
More Steps

Calculate
−2(3x−3)
Apply the distributive property
−2×3x−(−2×3)
Multiply the numbers
−6x−(−2×3)
Multiply the numbers
−6x−(−6)
If a negative sign or a subtraction symbol appears outside parentheses, remove the parentheses and change the sign of every term within the parentheses
−6x+6
−6x+6+4x−4
Add the terms
More Steps

Evaluate
−6x+4x
Collect like terms by calculating the sum or difference of their coefficients
(−6+4)x
Add the numbers
−2x
−2x+6−4
Subtract the numbers
−2x+2
−2x+2=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
−2x=0−2
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−2x=−2
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
2x=2
Divide both sides
22x=22
Divide the numbers
x=22
