Answer:

Explanation:

First you have to multiply 3(2x+1)/3 the 3 cancels out so now you have 2x+1 but whatever you do to one side you have to do to the other so multiply 3(x-2) you should get 3x-6.

2x+1=3x-6

now subtra 2x-2x and 2x-3x because 2x is smaller than 3xnow you have

1=x-6

add 6 to both sides to cancel out you should get

7=x

you can switch to make more sense so your answer is

x=7
