Answer:

Explanation:

Remark

The point about the question is that the two sides are marked as equal.

Equation

3x + 5 = 5x + 1 Subtract 3x from both sides

Solution

3x - 3x + 5 = 5x - 3x + 1 Combine like terms

5 = 2x + 1 Subtract 1 from each side

5-1 = 2x +1 - 1 Combine

4 = 2x Divide by 2

4/2 = 2x/2

x = 2
