Then solve the equation above to find the value of x Move the coefficient-variable x to the left side, and move the constants to the right side. When they are moved, addition becomes substraction, substraction becomes addition 2x + 1 = -x + 4 2x + x = 4 - 1
Simplify the equation 2x + x = 4 - 1 3x = 3
Move 3 on the left side to the right side, it becomes denominator 3x = 3 x = 3/3 x = 1
