Question
Solve the equation
x=23
Alternative Form
x=1.5
Evaluate
3(x−2)+1=x−(2x−1)
Subtract the terms
More Steps
Evaluate
x−(2x−1)
If a negative sign or a subtraction symbol appears outside parentheses, remove the parentheses and change the sign of every term within the parentheses
x−2x+1
Subtract the terms
More Steps
Evaluate
x−2x
Collect like terms by calculating the sum or difference of their coefficients
(1−2)x
Subtract the numbers
−x
−x+1
3(x−2)+1=−x+1
Cancel equal terms on both sides of the expression
3(x−2)=−x
Expand the expression
More Steps
Evaluate
3(x−2)
Apply the distributive property
3x−3×2
Multiply the numbers
3x−6
3x−6=−x
Move the variable to the left side
3x−6+x=0
Add the terms
More Steps
Evaluate
3x+x
Collect like terms by calculating the sum or difference of their coefficients
(3+1)x
Add the numbers
4x
4x−6=0
Move the constant to the right side
4x=0+6
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
4x=6
Divide both sides
44x=46
Divide the numbers
x=46
Solution
x=23
Alternative Form
x=1.5
