-\sqrt{3x+1}+5-5=-5
Subtract 5 from both sides of the equation.
-\sqrt{3x+1}=-5
Subtracting 5 from itself leaves 0.
\frac{-\sqrt{3x+1}}{-1}=-\frac{5}{-1}
Divide both sides by -1.
\sqrt{3x+1}=-\frac{5}{-1}
Dividing by -1 undoes the multiplication by -1.
\sqrt{3x+1}=5
Divide -5 by -1.
3x+1=25
Square both sides of the equation.
3x+1-1=25-1
Subtract 1 from both sides of the equation.
3x=25-1
Subtracting 1 from itself leaves 0.
3x=24
Subtract 1 from 25.
\frac{3x}{3}=\frac{24}{3}
Divide both sides by 3.
x=\frac{24}{3}
Dividing by 3 undoes the multiplication by 3.
x=8
Divide 24 by 3.
