Question

The value of x is:

A. 6

B. 5

C. 2

D. 3

E. 4

Answer 1

x = 5.

Explanation:

In order to find the value of x you have to set the equations equal to each other. One you do that you use the operation of pemdas to solve the algebraic equation to find x. so first you subtract 2x from 3x which leaves you with 1x aka just x. Then you subtract one from x and 6 to get x alone. subtracting 1 from x equals 5. putting x equal to 5.

Answer 2

3x + 1 = 2x + 6
subtract 2x from both sides

x + 1 = 6
subtract 1 from both sides

x = 5

The value of x is B. 5.
