Question

Solve each of these equations. Explain or show your reasoning.
2(x+5)=3x+1

Answer 1

x=9

Explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

2(x+5)=3x+1

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

2(x+5)=3x+1

(2)(x)+(2)(5)=3x+1(Distribute)

2x+10=3x+1

Step 2: Subtract 3x from both sides.

2x+10−3x=3x+1−3x

−x+10=1

Step 3: Subtract 10 from both sides.

−x+10−10=1−10

−x=−9

Step 4: Divide both sides by -1.

−x

−1

=

−9

−1

x=9
