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
