Question

Ignore my writing
Solve the inequality

Answer 1

x=1

Explanation:

-5 - (15x-1) = 2(7x-16) -x

Distribute the negative sign

-5-15x+1 = 2(7x-16)-x

Distribute the 2

-5-15x+1 = 14x -32-x

Combine like terms

-4-15x = 13x-32

Add 15x to each side

-4-15x+15x = 13x+15x-32

-4 = 28x-32

Add 32 to each side

-4+32 = 28x-32+32

28 = 28x

Divide each side by 28

28/28 = 28x/28

1 =x
