Question

5x+2(1-x)=2(2x-1)
x=6
O x=-3
O x = 3
O
x = 9

Answer 1

5x+2(1-x)=2(2x-1)

5x+2-2x=4x-2

4x-(5x-2x)= x

2+2= 4

Answer: x=4

Answer 2

x= 4

Explanation:

We do like:

5x+2(1-x)=2(2x-1)

5x + 2 -2x = 4x -2

or 3x +2 = 4x -2

3x-4x +2 = -4x+4x -2

or -x +2= -2

and -x+2 -2 = -2 -2

or -x = -4

and x = 4 is the solution.

Have a good day.
