3x+x=4x. The 3x is just an easier way of stating x+x+x, and then you would just count the x's up like normal to create a total. You can also do this with larger numbers. For example, if you have 100x+500x, you would still add the numbers together to create a total of 600x. As long as the variables (x, in this case) are the same in the numbers you're adding (i.e., you can't add 3x+y together) you can just add the numbers to create your total.
2x+x+5+3x-6=6x-1
3x = 7-5x 8x=7 x = 7/8 x = 0.875
If 15 + 3x = 42, then x = 9
5x + 4 = 3x - 2Subtract 4 from both sides:5x = 3x - 6Subtract 2x from both sides:2x = 6Divide both sides by 2:x = -3
3x + 7 = x + 13Subtract 7 from each side:3x = x + 6Subtract x from each side:2x = 6Divide each side by 2:x = 3
x+x+x= 3x
In the equation 3x plus 7 equals 13, x is equal to 2.
x = -11
-8x
3-3x
3x + 18
It is equal to: x^2 +3x -10
2x + 20 = 3x20 = 3X - 2X20 = X
3x = x+8 so 3x-x = 8 hence 2x = 8 and so x = 4
If: 3x-7 = 5x+13 Then: x = -10
3x = x + 4 x = 2 3x2=6 2+4=6
X= -2 ! Since the equation must equal zero - 17+3x must equal 11. The variable 3x HAS to equal -6... therefore x is equal to minus 2.
