Question

Solve the equation 3(x + 1) − 2 = x + 5.

Answer 1

The answer would be x=2

Answer 2

Answer:

X=2

Step-by-step explanation:

First, distribute the 3 to get

3x+3-2=x+5

Solve for 3-2 to get

3x+1=x+5

subtract 1 from both sides to get

3x=x+4

subtract x from both sides to get

2x=4

divide both sides by 2 to finalily get

x=2
