Question

PLEASE HELP Write a one chunk paragraph explaining the steps to solve for the equation 3(2x+1)=4x+5

Answer 1

Explanation:

To solve the equation, first you would multiply 3 times 2x and 3 times 1. Then, you would write 6x plus 3 on the right side of the equation. Then, you would subtract 3 from both sides of the equation. You then will have 6x=4x+2. Lastly, you would get an answer of x=1

Answer 2

x = 1

Explanation:

First perform the indicated multiplication:

3(2x+1)=4x+5 becomes 6x + 3 = 4x + 5.

Consolidate like terms: 2x = 2

Solve for x: x = 1
