Answer: The equation provided is already solved, on the left side of the equation it shows the step by step solution of the equation:

3(x-2)+x-1 = 3(x-2) + x - 1 = 5

3x - 6 + x - 1 = 5

Combining like terms

4x - 7 = 5

Adding 7 to both sides

4x = 12

Dividing both sides by 4

x = 3

So the value of x that makes the equation true is x = 3
