Answer:
Simplifying
3x + -1 = 2x + 5
Reorder the terms:
-1 + 3x = 2x + 5
Reorder the terms:
-1 + 3x = 5 + 2x
Solving
-1 + 3x = 5 + 2x
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-2x' to each side of the equation.
-1 + 3x + -2x = 5 + 2x + -2x
Combine like terms: 3x + -2x = 1x
-1 + 1x = 5 + 2x + -2x
Combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0
-1 + 1x = 5 + 0
-1 + 1x = 5
Add '1' to each side of the equation.
-1 + 1 + 1x = 5 + 1
Combine like terms: -1 + 1 = 0
0 + 1x = 5 + 1
1x = 5 + 1
Combine like terms: 5 + 1 = 6
1x = 6
Divide each side by '1'.
x = 6
Simplifying
x = 6
Answer is 6
