Solve for x:
3x+1 = x-5 You need to get the variable, x, onto one side of the equation. To do this. you subtract x from both sides.
3x-x+1 = -5 Now subtract 1 from both sides.
2x = -6 Finally, divide both sides by 2.
x = -3 This is the solution.
Check: Substitute x = -3 into the original equation.
3(-3)+1 = -3-5
-9+1 = -8
-8 = -8

3X+1=X-5
3X-X=-5-1
2X=-6
X=-6/2
X=-3
PROOF
(3*-3)+1=-3+5
-9+1=-8
-8=-8
