The equation: 3(x+1)=3x+1 does x=5 satisfy the equation? is x=-8 a solution to the equation? is x= a solution to the equation?

for this case we must apply distributive property to the following expression:

the distributive property states that:

then, when applying the property we have to multiply the -2 for each term within the parenthesis:
