We're being asked to solve the given equation for x.
00:03
So the first thing we need to do is remove that set of parentheses by distributing the three.
00:08
Well, three times 2x is 6x and 3 times negative 1 is negative 3.
00:13
And we'll bring down the rest of the equation plus x is equal to 5x plus 3.
00:18
Now i see we have late terms on the left hand side, so let's combine them.
00:22
Well, 6x plus x is 7x.
00:25
So we're going to be left with 7x minus 3 is equal to 5x plus 3.
00:30
Now, let's get our terms with the x's on the same side.
00:33
To do this, i'm going to subtract 5x from both sides of our equation.
00:38
Well, 7x minus 5x is 2x, so that will leave us with 2x minus 3 is equal to 3...
