Question

Plz help me 3(x + 1) = 5 + x

Answer 1

Answer:1

Step-by-step explanation:distribute 3 through the parentheses, move variable to the left hand side and change it’s sign, move constant to the right hand side and change its sign , collect like terms , subtract the numbers and then divide .

Answer 2

First we have use distributive property on the left side of the equal sign.
That will bring our equation to:
3x + 3 = 5 + x
Now we have to move around so the like terms are separated from each other
That will bring our equation to:
2x = 2
Now we can divide by 2 to get x alone
That will bring us to our answer:
x = 1
