Question

$$\frac{x+3+1}{3}=\frac{2x+1+1}{3}$$

Solve for x

$x=2$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides of the equation by $3$.

$$x+3+1=2x+1+1$$

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

$$x+4=2x+1+1$$

Add $1$ and $1$ to get $2$.

$$x+4=2x+2$$

Subtract $2x$ from both sides.

$$x+4-2x=2$$

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

$$-x+4=2$$

Subtract $4$ from both sides.

$$-x=2-4$$

Subtract $4$ from $2$ to get $-2$.

$$-x=-2$$

Multiply both sides by $-1$.

$$x=2$$
