Answer:

1)Solving the expression
1-2(2x+1)=1-(x-1) we get
\mathbf{x=-(1)/(3)}

2) solving the equation
3.6x-6.1=5.9-2.4x we get
\mathbf{x=2}

Explanation:

We need to solve the expressions:

1)
1-2(2x+1)=1-(x-1)\\

Solving


1-2(2x+1)=1-(x-1)

First solving the brackets


1-4x-2=1-x+1

Simplifying


-1-4x=-x

Adding 4x on both sides


-1-4x+4x=-x+4x\\-1=3x

Switching the sides


3x=-1

Divide both sides by 3


(3x)/(3)=-(1)/(3)\\x= -(1)/(3)

So, Solving the expression
1-2(2x+1)=1-(x-1) we get
\mathbf{x=-(1)/(3)}

2)
3.6x-6.1=5.9-2.4x

Solving:


3.6x-6.1=5.9-2.4x

Adding 6.1 on both sides


3.6x-6.1+6.1=5.9-2.4x+6.1\\3.6x=12-2.4x

Adding 2.4x on both sides


3.6x+2.4x=12-2.4x+2.4x\\6x=12\\

Divide both sides by 6


(6x)/(6)=(12)/(6)\\x=2

So, solving the equation
3.6x-6.1=5.9-2.4x we get
\mathbf{x=2}
