Question

$$3x+2(3x-1)=16$$

Solve for x

$x=2$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Use the distributive property to multiply $2$ by $3x-1$.

$$3x+6x-2=16$$

Combine $3x$ and $6x$ to get $9x$.

$$9x-2=16$$

Add $2$ to both sides.

$$9x=16+2$$

Add $16$ and $2$ to get $18$.

$$9x=18$$

Divide both sides by $9$.

$$x=\frac{18}{9}$$

Divide $18$ by $9$ to get $2$.

$$x=2$$
