Given:

The equation is

[tex](-a-b)x=3a+3b[/tex]

To find:

The value of x.

Solution:

We have,

[tex](-a-b)x=3a+3b[/tex]

It can be written as

[tex]x=\dfrac{3a+3b}{(-a-b)}[/tex]

[tex]x=\dfrac{3(a+b)}{-(a+b)}[/tex]

Cancel out the common factors.

[tex]x=\dfrac{3}{-1}[/tex]

[tex]x=-3[/tex]

Therefore, the value of x is -3.
