Solve one step equation

-3x = -9

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

-3x = -9

You have to do the inverse operation to solve a linear equation. In this case, the operation is multiplication (-3x) and the inverse would be division.

Thus, we would divide both sides by the coefficient (-3)

-3x/-3  =  -9/-3

Thus, we isolate the variable x, and the result is

x = 3

Check:

To check our answer, all we have to do is substitute the value of x.

So, we would substitute the equation as

-3(3) = 9

-3 multiplied by 3 is -9, so our answer is correct.
