Question

-(-2x +1)=9-14x explain

Answer 1

x = 10/16 or x = 5/8

Step-by-step explanation

Step 1: Distribute the negetive to the equation inside of the parentheses

2x - 1 = 9 - 14x

Step 2: Isolate the variable on either side (In this case, I'll subtract 2x from both sides and Subtract 9 from both sides)

- 10 = - 16x

Step 3: Divide by the number in front of the variable on both sides and simplify

x = 10/16 or x = 5/8

Answer 2

x = 5/8 = 0.625

Explanation:

Step by step solution :

Step 1 :

Pulling out like terms :

1.1 Pull out like factors :

16x - 10 = 2 • (8x - 5)

Equation at the end of step 1 :

Step 2 :

Equations which are never true :

2.1 Solve : 2 = 0

This equation has no solution.

A a non-zero constant never equals zero.

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

2.2 Solve : 8x-5 = 0

Add 5 to both sides of the equation :

8x = 5

Divide both sides of the equation by 8:

x = 5/8 = 0.625

One solution was found :

x = 5/8 = 0.625
