Hi,
The first step with these problems is to always try to combine like terms so that the problem solving becomes very easy. On the left hand side, add/subtract the x's you have. 6x - 3x = 3x therefore it becomes 3x + x which is 4x. Now the problem becomes:
4x = -128
Divide by 4 on both sides of the equation
x = -32 <==== FINAL ANSWER
I hope that helps you out! Please let me know if you have any other questions!
Sincerely,
Andrew

add the common terms which is 6x plus negative 3x makes 3x plus x equals 4x. 4x equals negative 128 divide negative 128 by positive 4 and thats ur answer

Do it step by step.
6x-3x+x=-128 (Do the 6x-3x)
3x+x=-128 (Do the 3x+x)
4x=-128 (Divide both sides by 4)
x=-32

6x - 3x + x = -128
add like terms
4x = -128
divide 4 for both sides
x = -32

I guess you were not paying attention in class. Combine the terms on the left side of the equation; that would make 4X. Divide both sides by 4X; that leaves 1= -128 divided by 4X. the right side resolves to X= - 32.

6x-3x+x=-128
1st combine like terms on left side
4x=-128
2nd divide both sides by for to isolate variable
4/4x=-128/4
Fours cancel and you are left with x=-32
Hope that helped!

first, combine the like terms:
6x-3x+x=-128
3x+x=-128
4x=-128
then solve:
x=-128/4
x=-32
