Answer:
x=15
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
x + 30 = 3x
Reorder the terms:
30 + x = 3x
Solving
30 + x = 3x
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-3x' to each side of the equation.
30 + x + -3x = 3x + -3x
Combine like terms: x + -3x = -2x
30 + -2x = 3x + -3x
Combine like terms: 3x + -3x = 0
30 + -2x = 0
Add '-30' to each side of the equation.
30 + -30 + -2x = 0 + -30
Combine like terms: 30 + -30 = 0
0 + -2x = 0 + -30
-2x = 0 + -30
Combine like terms: 0 + -30 = -30
-2x = -30
Divide each side by '-2'.
x = 15
Simplifying
x = 15
