Find the solution to the equation 3x + 1 = 6x + 1.
Added by Jeff P.
Step 1
To do this, we can subtract 3x from both sides of the equation: 3x + 1 - 3x = 6x + 1 - 3x This simplifies to: 1 = 3x + 1 Now, we want to isolate x further by subtracting 1 from both sides: 1 - 1 = 3x + 1 - 1 This simplifies to: 0 = 3x Show more…
