Question

2x+3=x-1 what is the value of x tell me if you can

Answer 1

Answer:

2x+3=x-1

2x-x-1+(-3) x=-1-3 x=-4

Answer 2

$\large{\underline{\boxed{\text{Given:}}}}</p><p>$

$\textsf{2 x+ 3 = x - 1}$

$\large{\underline{\boxed{\text{To find:}}}}</p><p>$

The value of x

$\large{\underline{\boxed{\text{Solution:}}}}</p><p>$

$\textsf{2x + 3 = x - 1}$

Rearranging and combining like terms

$\textsf{2x - x = - 1 - 3 }\\ \\ \implies \boxed{\textsf{ \green{x = - 4}}}$

$\large{\underline{\boxed{\text{Verification:}}}}</p><p>$

Putting x = -4

$\textsf{2( - 4) + 3 = - 4 - 1 }\\ \\ \textsf{ - 8 + 3 = - 5} \\ \\ \textsf{- 5 = - 5}$

Hence verified!!
