Solve the following equation
x+1+2x=4
Solve for x
x + 1 + 2x = 4
Group the x terms on the left:
(1 + 2)x = 3x
Form modified equation
3x + 1 = + 4
Group constants
Group our constants 1 and 4.
subtract 1 from both sides
3x + 1 - 1 = 4 - 1
Cancel 1 on the left side:
3x = 3
Divide each side of the equation by 3
| 3x | |
| 3 |
| = |
| 3 |
| 3 |
x = 1
Final Answer
x = 1
