Question

5x - (x - 16) = 2x - (_) + x)

Answer 1

x=1

Explanation:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation 16-2*x-(5*x+9)=0

Pull out like factors : 7 - 7x = -7 • (x - 1)

Solve : -7 = 0 This equation has no solution.

A a non-zero constant never equals zero.

Solve : x-1 = 0 Add 1 to both sides of the equation :

x = 1
