Answer: x= 1/2

Explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

x−5(x−1)=2x−(2x−3)

x−5(x−1)=2x+−1(2x−3)(Distribute the Negative Sign)

x−5(x−1)=2x+−1(2x)+(−1)(−3)

x−5(x−1)=2x+−2x+3

x+(−5)(x)+(−5)(−1)=2x+−2x+3(Distribute)

x+−5x+5=2x+−2x+3

(x+−5x)+(5)=(2x+−2x)+(3)(Combine Like Terms)

−4x+5=3

−4x+5=3

Step 2: Subtract 5 from both sides.

−4x+5−5=3−5

−4x=−2

Step 3: Divide both sides by -4.

−4x /−4 = −2 /−4

x = 1/2
