Example

3(r+2s)=2t-4
a⋅(b-2)=3b
3(r+2s)=2t-4
a⋅(b-2)=3b

Question

$$5x+1=3x-4$$

Answer

x=-5/2

Solution


Subtract \(3x\) from both sides.
\[5x+1-3x=-4\]
Simplify  \(5x+1-3x\)  to  \(2x+1\).
\[2x+1=-4\]
Subtract \(1\) from both sides.
\[2x=-4-1\]
Simplify  \(-4-1\)  to  \(-5\).
\[2x=-5\]
Divide both sides by \(2\).
\[x=-\frac{5}{2}\]

Decimal Form: -2.5
