Answer:
Yes
x = 6
Explanation:
Given
2x - 5 = 3(1 - x) + 22
First distribute 3 into (1 - x)
We have
2x - 5 = 3 x 1 -3 x X + 22
2x - 5 = 3 - 3x + 22
The expression can be rearranged as
2x - 5 = 3 + 22 - 3x
2x - 5 = 25 - 3x
Add 3x to both sides
3x + 2x - 5 = 25 - 3x + 3x
5x - 5 = 25
Add five to both sides
5x - 5 + 5 = 25 + 5
5x = 30
Divide both sides by 5
5x/5 = 30/5
x = 6
