Answer:
solution
1) you multiply -2 by (x+1)
-2(x+1)
-2x+ -2
-2x -2
2) After multiplying it the answer you get you come and insert it into the equation
so
-2x -2 =-3
3)you take -1 across the equal to sign and then you work the equation you have now
-2x= -3
-2x=-3+2
-2x=-1
4) the answer you have now is -2x =-1,you want to find x so you didvide both sides by -2
-2x /-2=-1/-2
x=1/2
therefore x is half in other words ...x=1/2
