Solve 2(3x - 1) 5 = 21

Evaluate

2 (3 x - 1) \times 5 = 21

Multiply the terms

10 (3 x - 1) = 21

Divide both sides

\frac{10 ( 3 x - 1 )}{10} = \frac{21}{10}

Divide the numbers

3 x - 1 = \frac{21}{10}

Move the constant to the right side

3 x = \frac{21}{10} + 1

Add the numbers

More Steps

3 x = \frac{31}{10}

Multiply by the reciprocal

3 x \times \frac{1}{3} = \frac{31}{10} \times \frac{1}{3}

Multiply

x = \frac{31}{10} \times \frac{1}{3}
