Answer:

x = - 9

Step-by-step explanation:

2 (x - 3) + 1 = 3 x + 4

First expand the terms in the bracket

That's

2x - 6 + 1 = 3x + 4

2x - 5 = 3x + 4

Subtract 3x from both sides

2x - 3x - 5 = 3x - 3x + 4

- x - 5 = 4

Add 5 to both sides

- x + 5 - 5 = 4 + 5

- x = 9

Multiply through by - 1

- ( - x) = 9(-1)

We have the final answer as

x = - 9

Hope this helps you
