Answer:
x = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
2(x + 5) = 3x + 1
open the parenthesis
2x + 10 = 3x + 1
subtract 2x from both sides of the equation
2x - 2x + 10 = 3x - 2x + 1
10 = x + 1
subtract 1 from both sides of the equation
9 = x
Substitute
2x+10=3x+1
Subtract 3x to other side
-x+10=1
Subtract 10
-x=-9
divide -1 both sides
x= 9
