okayy so i got:

2) 4-7x=1-6x
4+6x=1+6x
____________
4-(-1)=1

then i got stuck):


and for 3)

-4x-3=6x+9
+4x +4x
___________
-3=10x+9
+3 +3
___________
and then thats where i got stuck :l

im sorry, i rly suck at math):
 
4-7x=1-6x
4+6x=1+6x
____________
4-(-1)=1

Well, you got rid of that troublesome x. ;)

The strategy for solving this equation is to get all of the terms that contain x combined on one side AND all of the constants combined on the other side.

Here is one pair of steps to do it (there are other ways):

(1) Add 7x to both sides

(2) Subtract 1 from both sides

Give that a try.
