Question

-(2x-1) =-1 - (-x - 1) + 7x

find X

Answer 1

x = 1/10

Explanation:

-(2x-1) = - 1 - (- x - 1) + 7x

Distribute the "-"

- (2x -1) --> -2x + 1

- ( -x - 1) --> x + 1

New equation becomes,

-2x + 1 = - 1 + x + 1 + 7x

Combine like terms

-2x + 1 = 8x

Add 2x to both sides (to isolate the variable (x))

1 = 10x

Divide both sides by 10

x =
`(1)/(10)`
