Question

5(2x–1)=8x+1 please solve it asap

Answer 1

Answer: x = 3

Explanation:

First u expand 5(2x - 1): 10x - 5

10x - 5 = 8x - 1

then u add 5 to both sides

10x - 5 + 5 = 8x + 1 + 5

then u simply

10x = 8x + 6

then u add 8x from both sides

10x - 8x = 8x + 6 - 8x

then u simplify

2x = 6

Then u divide both sides by 2

2x/2 = 6/2

then u simplify

x = 3

Answer 2

`5(2x - 1) = 8x + 1`

`10x - 5 = 8x + 1`

Add sides 5

`10x - 5 + 5 = 8x + 1 + 5`

`10x = 8x + 6`

Subtract sides -8x

`10x - 8x = 8x - 8x + 6`

`2x = 6`

Divided sides by 2

`(2)/(2)x = (6)/(2) \\`

`x = 3`

_________________________________

Check the value :

`5 * (2(3) - 1) = 8(3) + 1`

`5 * (6 - 1) = 24 + 1`

`5 * 5 = 25`

`25 = 25`

Thus the value which we found is correct.
