X=2

Step 1:
Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :
3*x+3-(5*x-1)=0

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :
3*x+3-(5*x-1)=0
OpenStudy (anonymous):
3x+3=5x-1 add 1 to both sides leaving 3x+4=5x subtract 3x from both sides leaving 4=2x divide 2 from both sides

Pull out like factors :
-2x + 4 = -2 • (x - 2)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
then Solve -2*(x-2) = 0

Solve : -2 = 0
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so you add the 1 to 3x and 3
OpenStudy (anonymous):
No just 3
OpenStudy (anonymous):
This equation has no solution.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
It dose have one how you are doing its it dosnt

A a non-zero constant never equals zero.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Solve : x-2 = 0
Add 2 to both sides of the equation :
x = 2
