What is the answer for -2x plus 3 equals 1?

Answer 1

I'll work you through the equation. First, here is a physical representation of it: -2x + 3 = 1. As you probably know, the equal sign acts as a balance in the middle of the equation, and you can only remove something from one side if you replace it on the other. For problems such as these, you will need to isolate the 'x' in order to solve for it. To do that, you need to lump all the same kinds of factors together, variables and nonvariables. In this case, there are only two: x and integers. To put the integers together, you can subtract 3 from both sides, which will give you -2x = -2. You can then isolate the x by dividing by -2 on both sides. As that will cancel out all the negative signs, that will give you x = 1, and that is your answer.
