Question

$$2x+1+2x+3+2x+5=159$$

Solve for x

$x=25$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Combine $2x$ and $2x$ to get $4x$.

$$4x+1+3+2x+5=159$$

Add $1$ and $3$ to get $4$.

$$4x+4+2x+5=159$$

Combine $4x$ and $2x$ to get $6x$.

$$6x+4+5=159$$

Add $4$ and $5$ to get $9$.

$$6x+9=159$$

Subtract $9$ from both sides.

$$6x=159-9$$

Subtract $9$ from $159$ to get $150$.

$$6x=150$$

Divide both sides by $6$.

$$x=\frac{150}{6}$$

Divide $150$ by $6$ to get $25$.

$$x=25$$
