Question

How can we get Equation B from Equation A?

A. 2x−1=5x
b. −1=3x
Question 2 options:

Rewrite one side (or both) using the distributive property


Add/subtract a quantity to/from only one side


Add/subtract the same quantity to/from both sides


Rewrite one side (or both) by combining like terms

Answer 1

-1 = 5x - 2x

Explanation:

When 2x will go to the other side of the equal sign, it will become negative.

5x - 2x will become 3x

From here you will get Equation B

2x - 1 = 5x

-1 = 5x - 2x

-1 = 3x
