2x+2\times \frac{1}{2}=5x+1-3x
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by x+\frac{1}{2}.
2x+1=5x+1-3x
Cancel out 2 and 2.
2x+1=2x+1
Combine 5x and -3x to get 2x.
2x+1-2x=1
Subtract 2x from both sides.
1=1
Combine 2x and -2x to get 0.
\text{true}
Compare 1 and 1.
x\in \mathrm{C}
This is true for any x.
