Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by x-3.
6x+1-2x=-6
Subtract 2x from both sides.
4x+1=-6
Combine 6x and -2x to get 4x.
4x=-6-1
Subtract 1 from both sides.
4x=-7
Subtract 1 from -6 to get -7.
x=\frac{-7}{4}
Divide both sides by 4.
x=-\frac{7}{4}
Fraction \frac{-7}{4} can be rewritten as -\frac{7}{4} by extracting the negative sign.
