Answer:
x = 1
Explanation:
You want the solution to the multi-step equation -5 -(15x -1) = 2(7x -16) -x.
Solution
It is often useful to simplify the equation first. Doing that gives ...
-5 -15x +1 = 14x -32 -x . . . . . . eliminate parentheses
-15x -4 = 13x -32 . . . . . . . . collect terms
28 = 28x . . . . . . . . . . . . add 15x+32
1 = x . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 28
