2x+1=x\times 2+x
Variable x cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by x.
2x+1=3x
Combine x\times 2 and x to get 3x.
2x+1-3x=0
Subtract 3x from both sides.
-x+1=0
Combine 2x and -3x to get -x.
-x=-1
Subtract 1 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
x=1
Multiply both sides by -1.
