Answer:

0=0

Step-by-step explanation:Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

3(x+1)−1=3x+2

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

3(x+1)−1=3x+2

(3)(x)+(3)(1)+−1=3x+2(Distribute)

3x+3+−1=3x+2

(3x)+(3+−1)=3x+2(Combine Like Terms)

3x+2=3x+2

3x+2=3x+2

Step 2: Subtract 3x from both sides.

3x+2−3x=3x+2−3x

2=2

Step 3: Subtract 2 from both sides.

2−2=2−2

0=0
