Question

PLS HELP Find the value of x.
A. 4
B. 2
C. 7
D. 14

Answer 1

B. 2

Explanation:

The sides 5x - 3 and 3x + 1 are the same length, so you can put an equal sign: 5x - 3 = 3x + 1, x = 2:

5(2) - 3 = 3(2) + 1

10 - 3 = 6 + 1

7 = 7

So x is 2

Answer 2

ANSWER IS B

Explanation:

5x - 3 = 3x + 1

5x - 3x = 1 + 3

2x = 4

x = 4/2

x = 2
