Subtract the terms

More Steps

Simplify

6 x - 36 x

Collect like terms by calculating the sum or difference of their coefficients

(6 - 36) x

Subtract the numbers

- 30 x

- 30 x - 3 = 0

Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign

- 30 x = 0 + 3

Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression

- 30 x = 3

Change the signs on both sides of the equation

30 x = - 3

Divide both sides

\frac{30 x}{30} = \frac{- 3}{30}

Divide the numbers

x = \frac{- 3}{30}

Solution

More Steps

Evaluate

\frac{- 3}{30}

Cancel out the common factor 3

\frac{- 1}{10}

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

- \frac{1}{10}

x = - \frac{1}{10}

Alternative Form

x = - 0.1
