Solve
3x+1=x+5
The solution is x

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

3x+1=x+5

Subtract x from each side to get all the variables on one side

3x-x+1=x-x+5

2x+1 = 5

Subtract 1 from each side to get all the constants on the other side

2x+1-1 = 5-1

2x= 4

Divide each side by 2

2x/2 =4/2

x =2

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

3x + 1 = x + 5

Subtract x from both sides

3x - x + 1 = x - x + 5

2x + 1 = 5

Subtract 1 from both sides

2x + 1 - 1 = 5 - 1

2x = 4

Divide both sides by 2

x = 4/2

x = 2

step-by-step explanation:

the ratio of white tiles to blue tiles is 48: 16. the ratio in it's simplest form is 3: 1.

step-by-step explanation:

ratio: take the first number and add a colon next to it, then add the second number after that. make sure the ratio order matches up with the written problem!

simplest form: we can simplify the ratio 48 : 16 by dividing both terms by the greatest common factor (gcf).

the gcf of 48 and 16 is 16.

divide both terms by 16:

48 ÷ 16 = 3

16 ÷ 16 = 1

reducing to simplest form:

48 : 16 = 3 : 1
