Answer:
Explanation:
Simplify 3(x−1)
Rewrite.
0+0+3(x−1)=2(x+1)
Simplify by adding zeros.
3(x−1)=2(x+1)
Apply the distributive property.
3x+3⋅−1=2(x+1)
Multiply 3 by −1*3x−3=2(x+1)
Simplify 2(x+1).
Apply the distributive property.
3x−3=2x+2*1
Multiply 2 by 1*3x−3=2x+2
Move all terms containing x to the left side of the equation.
Subtract 2x from both sides of the equation.
3x−3−2x=2
Subtract
2x from 3x*x−3=2
Move all terms not containing x to the right side of the equation.
Add 3 to both sides of the equation.
x=2+3
Add
2 and 3.
x=5
