Question

Solve the equation 3x + 1 = 2x -4, and represent the solution on the number line (in one variable)

Answer 1

Answer:

3x+1=2x-4

3x-2x=-4-1

x=-5

Answer 2

Answer:

The value of x is -5.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the equation: $3x+1=2x-4$

Subtract $2x$ from both the sides.

Hence, $x+1=-4$

Subtract $1$ from both the sides.

We get $x=-5$

Representing it on the number line in the adjoining figure.
