Question

How would you solve 3x+1 = 2x+2?

First, subtract 2x on both sides
You should then have x+1=2
Got it from there?

Answer 8

Answer 10

Yeah :p
You will always subtract the smaller number of x from both sides
then, you'll just solve like
1=x+4
x would equal -3
It's sort of hard to explain, do you get it?
