Answer:
x−3=x−3
Explanation:
Evaluate (2x−1)−7, then set it equal to 2.
Subtract 7 from −1 = 2x−8
Solve 2x−8=2.
Move all terms not containing x to the right side of the equation.
Add 8 to both sides of the equation=2x=2+8
Add 2 and 8=2x=10
Divide each term by 2 and simplify.
Divide each term in 2x=10 by 2=2x/2=10/2
Cancel the common factor of 2
Cancel the common factor=10/2
Divide x by 1=x=10/2
Divide 10 by 2=x=5
Remove parentheses=x−3
List all of the solutions.
5=
(2x−1)−7=2=x=5
x−3=x−3
