    x = 2

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given

    3x + 1 = x + 5

    Subtract x from both sides

    3x - x + 1 = x - x + 5

    2x + 1 = 5

    Subtract 1 from both sides

    2x + 1 - 1 = 5 - 1

    2x = 4

    Divide both sides by 2

    x = 4/2

    x = 2

    x=2

    Step-by-step explanation:

    3x+1=x+5

    Subtract x from each side to get all the variables on one side

    3x-x+1=x-x+5

    2x+1 = 5

    Subtract 1 from each side to get all the constants on the other side

    2x+1-1 = 5-1

    2x = 4

    Divide each side by 2

    2x/2 = 4/2

    x = 2
