Question

Solution of equation 3x-1=5​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

3x + -1 = 0.5

Reorder the terms:

-1 + 3x = 0.5

Solving

-1 + 3x = 0.5

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '1' to each side of the equation.

-1 + 1 + 3x = 0.5 + 1

Combine like terms: -1 + 1 = 0

0 + 3x = 0.5 + 1

3x = 0.5 + 1

Combine like terms: 0.5 + 1 = 1.5

3x = 1.5

Divide each side by '3'.

x = 0.5

Simplifying

x = 0.5
