Question

Solve and find X.
Question says 5-x / 2 = 2x-7

Answer 1

X=-14
Explaining 5x=4x-14
5x-4x=-14

Answer 2

x = 3.8

Explanation:

The equation is (5 - x) / 2 = 2x - 7

Multiply both sides by 2:

5 - x = 4x - 14

Add 14 to both sides:

19 - x = 4x

Add x to both sides:

19 = 5x

Divide both sides by 5 to isolate x:

3.8 = x

Therefore, x = 3.8.
