Answer 1

To solve the equation 2x-31=3(x+2), we can start by distributing the 3 on the right side of the equation:

2x - 31 = 3x + 6

Next, we can subtract 2x from both sides of the equation to isolate the variable:

-31 = x + 6

To solve for x, we can subtract 6 from both sides:

-37 = x

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