Answer:
x = 1
Explanation:
3(3x + 2) = 13 + 5 - 4x + 1 Distribute the 3
3(3x) + 3(2) = 13 + 5 - 4x + 1
9x + 6 = 13 + 5 - 4x + 1 Combine like terms
9x + 6 = 19 - 4x Add 4x to both sides
13x + 6 = 19 Subtract 6 from both sides
13x = 13 Divide both sides by 13
x = 1
Check:
Substitute 1 for x
3(3x + 2) = 13x + 5 - 4x + 1
3[(3)(1) + 2] = 13(1) + 5 -4(1) + 1
3(3 + 2) = 13 + 5 - 4 + 1
3(5) = 18 - 4 + 1
15 = 14 + 1
15 = 15 checks
