Hello !

Answer:


\Large\boxed{ \sf x = 2}

Explanation:

Let's solve the following equation by isolating x.


\sf3x - 3 = x + 1

First, add 3 to both sides :


\sf3x - 3 + 3 = x + 1 + 3


\sf3x = x + 4

Now let's substract x from both sides :


\sf3x - x = 4


\sf2x = 4

Finally, let's divide both sides by 2 :


\sf (2x)/(2) = (4)/(2)


\boxed{ \sf x = 2}

Have a nice day ;)
