Question

Hi there I don't usually ask questions but I'm having a bit of trouble solving for X on this equation. 1+(3x-3)=1 You don't necessarily have to give me the answer, a break down would be just fine :) ​

Answer 1

`x=1`

Explanation:

`1+(3x-3)=1`

First, you have to take the one that is outside of the Parenthesis and take it to the other side. That would mean it would be this:

`3x-3=1-1`

1 - 1 is 0

`3x-3=0\\`

Move the -3 to the other side, which makes it positive;

`3x=3`

Divide both sides by 3

`x=1`

If you want to check it, you can replace 1 in the original equation:

`1+(3X1-3)=1`

`1+(0)=1`

`1=1`

So x=1
