Question

Analyzing Solution Sets to Linear Equations with the Variable on Both Sides

2x + 5 = 3 + 2(x + 1)

Answer 1

You start by distributing from the 2 into the parentheses for x which will become 2x and 2. Next you may start canceling out. get either 2x and cancel it out with the other you should at this point then have X+5=3+1 combine like terms.

Answer 2

Answer: it will need to be rewritten so that the variable is only on one side of the equation

Step-by-step explanation:f the equation contains fractions, you may elect to multiply both sides of the equation by the least common denominator
