3x-5+3x-1=3x

3 x - 5 + 3 x - 1 = 3 x

x = 2

Solution steps

3 x - 5 + 3 x - 1 = 3 x

Subtract

3 x

from both sides

3 x - 5 + 3 x - 1 - 3 x = 3 x - 3 x

Simplify

- 5 + 3 x - 1 = 0

Subtract the numbers:

- 5 - 1 = - 6

3 x - 6 = 0

Move

6

to the right side

3 x = 6

Divide both sides by

3

x = 2

4 + x = 6

2 x + 12 = - 2 x + 4

\frac{5}{4} x - 7 = 39 + \frac{1}{4} x

x \frac{3}{4} = 8

7 + 10 = 10 + 7
