Answer:

Whatever makes the statement true.

Explanation:

Example:

19=3x+1

Subtract 1 from both sides.

19-1=3x+1-1

18=3x

Divide both sides by 3.

18/3=(3x)/3

When x is alone on one side, the answer is on the other. In this case…

6=x

If you plug in 6 for x, you get 19.

3(x)+1=19

3(6)+1=19

3(6)=18

18+1=19
