Question

2(x+5)=3x+1 x=? please solve

Answer 1

2(x+5)=3x+1
2x+10=3x+1
2x-3x= 1-10
-x=1-10
-x=-9
x=9

Answer 2

Answer:

x=9

Step-by-step explanation:

expand 2(x+5) : 2x+10

2x+10=3x+1

subtract 10 from both sides

2x+10-10=3x+1-10

simplify

2x=3x-9

subtract 3x from both sides

2x-3x=3x-9-3x

simplify

-x=-9

divide both sides by -1 (-1 is equal to -x or -1x)

-x/-1=-9/-1

simplify

x=9

hope this helps :) have a nice day !!
