Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:Simplifying

3(2x + 1) + -4x = 2x + 3

Reorder the terms:

3(1 + 2x) + -4x = 2x + 3

(1 * 3 + 2x * 3) + -4x = 2x + 3

(3 + 6x) + -4x = 2x + 3

Combine like terms: 6x + -4x = 2x

3 + 2x = 2x + 3

Reorder the terms:

3 + 2x = 3 + 2x

Add '-3' to each side of the equation.

3 + -3 + 2x = 3 + -3 + 2x

Combine like terms: 3 + -3 = 0

0 + 2x = 3 + -3 + 2x

2x = 3 + -3 + 2x

Combine like terms: 3 + -3 = 0

2x = 0 + 2x

2x = 2x

Add '-2x' to each side of the equation.

2x + -2x = 2x + -2x

Combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0

0 = 2x + -2x

Combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0

0 = 0

Solving

0 = 0
