Answer:
x = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
3x + 1 = 10
Combine the constants by subtracting 1 from both sides.
3x = 9
Isolate the variable by dividing both sides by 3.
Check.
3(3) + 1 = 10
9 + 1 = 10
10 = 10
Your answer is correct.
Hope this helps!
- 1 = - 1
--------------- ( subtract 1 on both sides )
3x = 3
--------------- ( divide by 3 on both sides )
now you're left with x = 3 which is your answer! hope this helps. ^_^
