Answer:

13= -14x

Explanation:

(4×2)-(4×1x)=(5×1)-(5×2x)

8-4x=5-10x

8+5=-4x-10x

13=-14x

Hopefully this will help

Answer:


x = - (1)/(2)

Explanation:


4(2 - x) = 5(1 - 2x) \\ first \: you \: need \: to \: distribute \\ \\8 - 4x = 5 - 10x \\ add \: 10x \: from \: both \: sides \\ \\8 + 6x = 5 \\ subtract \: 8 \: from \: both \: sides \\ \\ 6x = - 3 \\ divide \: both \: sides \: by \: 6x \\ \\x = - (1)/(2)
