Question

Find the solution to the equation 3x + 1 = 6x + 1

Answer 1

X= 0 there’s no other way that equation would work

Answer 2

Answer:

x=0

Step-by-step explanation:

First, start by getting rid of your X values. You must take your lowest X value and find a way to move it to the other side. Our lowest X value is 3x, and it's currently being added to 1.

In order to move it, we must subtract it on both sides.

3x + 1 = 6x + 1

-3x        -3x

1 = 3x + 1

Now we must get the X value by itself, which means doing everything reverse. For example, you would subtract the 1 instead of adding it.

1 = 3x + 1

-1         -1

3x = 0

divide by 3 on both sides

x = 0

Let's check

3(0) + 1 = 6(0) + 1

1 = 1

This is a true statement
