Solve 3(2x-1) 7=-44

Evaluate

3 (2 x - 1) \times 7 = - 44

Multiply the terms

21 (2 x - 1) = - 44

Divide both sides

\frac{21 ( 2 x - 1 )}{21} = \frac{- 44}{21}

Divide the numbers

2 x - 1 = \frac{- 44}{21}

Use \frac{- a}{b} = \frac{a}{- b} = - \frac{a}{b} to rewrite the fraction

2 x - 1 = - \frac{44}{21}

Move the constant to the right side

2 x = - \frac{44}{21} + 1
