3x-1=x+5
Step 1: Set the equation equal to 0.
x + 5 - (3x - 1) = 0
x + 5 - 3x + 1 = 0
Step 2: Combine terms.
-2x + 6 = 0
Step 3: Isolate X.
6 = 2x
x = 3 (solution!)

3x-1=x+5
First subtract the "x" from the both sides so that it will only be on one side.
3x-x-1=x-x+5
2x-1=5
Add 1 to both sides to get it away from the "x"
2x-1+1=5+1
2x=6
Divide both sides by 2 to get rid of the 2 in front of the "x"
2x/2=6/2
x=3
There's your answer!

3x can be writen as x+2x
x+2x-1=x+5
subtract x from both sides.
2x-1=5
Add one to both sides
2x-1+1=5+1
2x=6
2x=2.3
divide by two
x=3

ok you have to isolate the variables and the constants so lets start with that
1.) 3x=x+6
2.) 2x=6
3.) x = 3

3x-1=x + 5
Get all the x's on one side and all the constants on the other
2x=6
Divide by two to isolate x
x=3
viola!
