Answer:
x=5
Step-by-step explanation:
You first have to distribute. So multiply the 3 with whats inside the parenthesis. So 3 times 2x is 6x. And 3 times -3 is -9. That means that so far you have 6x-9. Now on the other side you have 4x+1. So you move the 9 over to the other side by doing the opposite of it. Meaning +9. So you add 9 to 1 giving you 10. Now you have, 6x=4x+10. Just subtract 4x from 6x, which gives you 2x. Lastly, you divide the 10 by 2x because division is the opposite of multiplication
3(2x - 3) = 4x + 1
multiply the bracket by 3
(3)(2x)=6x
(3)(-3)=-9
6x-9=4x+1
move +4x to the other side
sign changes from +4x to -4x
6x-4x-9=4x-4x+1
6x-4x=2x ( combine like terms)
2x-9=1
move -9 to the other side
2x-9+9=1+9
2x=1+9
2x=10/2
divide both sides by 2 to get x by itself
2x/2=10/2
cross out 2 and 2, divide by 2
then becomes 1*1*x=x
divide by 2 for 10/2
10/2=5
2/2=1
5*1=5

x=5
