Answer 1

To solve the given equation, we first simplify both sides of the equation:

2x - 31 = 3(x + 2)

Next, distribute the 3 on the right side:

2x - 31 = 3x + 6

Now, let's solve for x by isolating x on one side of the equation. We can do this by subtracting 2x from both sides:

-31 = x + 6

Now, subtract 6 from both sides:

-37 = x

Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = -37.
