Question

2xー1+2-2
solve this and show work

Answer 1

x = 1/2

Explanation:

We need to add -1 to each side of this to get rid of the -1 in the equation.

2x - 1 + 2 = 2

2x + 1 = 2

We need to subtract 1 from each side.

2x = 1

x = 0.5

Checking:

2(0.5) - 1 + 2 = 2

1 - 1 = 0 + 2 = 2 (Checks out)

ANSWER: x = 1/2

Answer 2

2x - 1

Explanation:

2x−1+2−2

=2x+−1+2+−2
