Keep in mind we'll convert the mixed fractions to "improper" and then proceed, also keep in mind that minus times minus is plus,

The correct answer is 2 found by my calculator.
Answer:
x=3
Step-by-step explanation:
2(x+1)=x+5
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by x+1.
2x+2=x+5
Subtract x from both sides.
2x+2−x=5
Combine 2x and −x to get x.
x+2=5
Subtract 2 from both sides.
x=5−2
Subtract 2 from 5 to get 3.
x=3
3x + 5 = 23
5 more than(addition) 3 times(multiplication) a variable(x) is(equals) 23
(you add 5 to 3x)
If you need to solve for "x", you need to isolate/get the variable "x" by itself in the equation:
3x + 5 = 23 Subtract 5 on both sides
3x + 5 - 5 = 23 - 5
3x = 18 Divide 3 on both sides to get "x" by itself

x = 6
“huh” is the interjection!
