Question

x +1 = 3x - 3 need help

Answer 1

We have the equation:

$x+1=3x-3$

If we move x to the right hand side as -x, we have

$\begin{gathered} 1=3x-x-3 \\ 1=2x-3 \end{gathered}$

Now, if we move -3 to the left hand side as +3, we obtain:

$\begin{gathered} 1+3=2x \\ 4=2x \end{gathered}$

Finally, the answer is

$x=\frac{4}{2}$

that is x=2
