Question

$$5(3x+1)-1=10$$

Solve for x

$x=\frac{2}{5}=0.4$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Use the distributive property to multiply $5$ by $3x+1$.

$$15x+5-1=10$$

Subtract $1$ from $5$ to get $4$.

$$15x+4=10$$

Subtract $4$ from both sides.

$$15x=10-4$$

Subtract $4$ from $10$ to get $6$.

$$15x=6$$

Divide both sides by $15$.

$$x=\frac{6}{15}$$

Reduce the fraction $\frac{6}{15}$ to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out $3$.

$$x=\frac{2}{5}$$
