Answer:

x= -2

Explanation:

Step 1- Distribute into the parenthesis.

(2)3x+(2)1= -10

Step 2- Multiply

6x+2= -10

Step 3- Subtract 2 to both sides.

6x+2= -10

-2 -2

Step 4- Divide both sides by 6

6x= -12

6 6

x= -2

Answer:

x=-2 hope this helps! :)

Explanation:

first you move the constant to the right

3x+1=-5

then you calculate

3x=-5-1

finally you divide both sides to get x alone

x=-2
