Question 28240: 2x+3x-2=3x-1+3x+1+3x
Easy! combine all like terms on each side: all numbers with an X and those without:
So,2x+3x=5x
and 3x+3x=6x
and 1+1=2
Then rewrite:5x-2=6x+2
Now pick a side of the equal sign to put consants and move varibles on to opposite side:
So,
5x-2=6x+2 becomes -x=4
divide by -1
and the answer is x=-4
Check by sub. -4 for x in original problem: 2x+3x-2=3x-1+3x+1+3x and you should come out with answer of 0=0
