5+(3x+1)=5(x+1)+2
\n" ); document.write( "5+3x+1=5x+5+2
\n" ); document.write( "3x-5x=5+2-5-1
\n" ); document.write( "-2x=1
\n" ); document.write( "x=1/-2
\n" ); document.write( "x=-1/2 ans.
\n" ); document.write( "Proof:
\n" ); document.write( "5+(3*-1/2+1)=5(-1/2+1)+2
\n" ); document.write( "5-1.5+1=5*1/2+2
\n" ); document.write( "6-1.5=2.5+2
\n" ); document.write( "4.5=4.5
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
