2x = 3x -1

Subtract 3x from each side.

-x = -1

Divide each side by -1.

x = 1


'; explain[1] = '#2

4x = 2x -5

Subract 2x from each side.

2x = -5

Divide each side by 2.

x = -5/2


'; explain[2] = '#3

3x = x + 4

Subtract x from each side.

2x = 4

Divide each side by 2.

x = 2


'; explain[3] = '#4

6x = 2x - 6

Subract 2x from each side.

4x = -6

Divide each side by 4.

x = -6/4 = -3/2


'; explain[4] = '#5

12x = 50x - 20

Subtract 50x from each side.

-38x = -20

Divide each side by -38.

s = 20/38 = 10/19


'; explain[5] = '#6

(x/6) = (x/2) + (5/4)

Find a common denominator.

(2x/12) = (6x/12) + (15/12)

Multiply both sides by 12.

2x = 6x +15

Subtract 6x from each side.

-4x = 15

Divide each side by -4.

x = -15/4


'; explain[6] = '#7

(x/2) = (x/4) + (1/2)

Find a common denominator.

(2x/4) = (x/4) + (2/4)

Multiply each side by 4.

2x = x + 2

Subtract x from each side.

x = 2


'; explain[7] = '#8

(2x/3) + 2 = (x/4)

Find a common denominator and convert 2 to fraction form.

(8x/12) + (24/12) = (3x/12)

Multiply each side by 12.

8x +24 = 3x

Subtract 8x from each side.

24 = -5x

Divide each side by -5.

-24/5 = x


'; explain[8] = '#9

(x/3) + 2 = (2x/3)

Convert 2 to fraction form.

(x/3) + (6/3) = (2x/3)

Multiply both sides by 3.

x + 6 = 2x

Subtract x from both sides.

6 = x


'; explain[9] = '#10

(100x/3) + (21/30) = (101x/2)

Find a common denominator.

(1000x/30) + (21/30) = (1515x/30)

Multiply both sides by 30.

1000x + 21 = 1515x

Subtract 1000x from both sides.

21 = 515x

Divide both sides by 515.

21/515 = x
