How do you solve #3(x-1)=x#?

1 Answer

#x = 3/2#

Explanation:

This is simple. Just proceed step by step.

#color(white)(xxx)3(x - 1) = x#

#rArr 3x - 3 = x# [Use the distributive property to remove the
#color(white)(xxxxxxxxxx)# parentheses]

#rArr 3x -x - 3 = x - x# [Subtract #x# from both sides]

#rArr 2x - 3 = 0#

#rArr 2x - 3 + 3 = 3# [Now Add #3# to both sides]

#rArr 2x = 3#

#rArr (2x)/2 = 3/2# [Now divide both sides by #2#]

#rArr x = 3/2#

Hence explained. Hope this helps.
