Question

Problem 1.1
Solve this equation:
2(x + 5) = 3x + 1

Answer 1

Answer: x=9

Step-by-step explanation: 2(x + 5) = 3x + 1

2(x+5)

2x+2(5)

2x+10-10= 3x + 1-10

2x-3x=3x-9-3x

-x/-1=-9/-1

x=9

Answer 2

x = 9

Explanation:

Distribute

2x+2*5=3x+1

2x+10=3x+1

Subtract 3x from both sides

-x+10=1

Subtract 10 from both sides

-x=-9

Multiply both sides by -1

x=9
