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:


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
