Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define equation</u>
3(x - 2) = 2(x + 1)
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>
- Distribute: 3x - 6 = 2x + 2
- Subtract 2x on both sides: x - 6 = 2
- Add 6 to both sides: x = 8
<u>Step 3: Check</u>
<em>Plug in x into the original equation to verify it's a solution.</em>
- Substitute in <em>x</em>: 3(8 - 2) = 2(8 + 1)
- Subtract/Add: 3(6) = 2(9)
- Multiply: 18 = 18
Here we see that 18 does indeed equal 18.
∴ x = 8 is a solution to the equation.
Can’t see that properly can’t you write it bigger or something
Answer:
x=13
Step-by-step explanation:
First, you add the x's together: 2x+x=3x
Now you have:3x-1=38
Add 1 to both sides: 3x=39
1 cancel on the left side of the equation
Divide 3 on both sides: x=39/3
3 cancels on the left side and 39 divided by 3 is 13:
x=13
