Help please. Can someone please help me understand this? 2 + 3(x+1) = 6x
2 + 3(x + 1) = 6x
2 + 3x + 3 = 6x
You are multiplying from inside the parentheses
2 + 3 +3x = 6x
Now add the numbers without the variables (x)
5 + 3x = 6x
Now write 5 first and add the variables together
5 = 9x
Switch it
9x = 5
x = 5 divided by 9 or 5 x 1/9
x = 5/9
Hope this helps :3
