Answer:
i’m assuming you meant the following equation based on your formatting:
(2x-1)/3 = (x-2)/1+1
First, perform the addition:
(2x-1)/3 = (x-2)/2
Next, multiply both sides by the LCD which is 6:
6(2x-1)/3 = 6(x-2)/2
2(2x-1) = 3(x-2)
Now distribute the terms:
4x-2 = 3x-6
Add 6 to both sides:
4x+4 = 3x
Subtract 4x from both sides:
-1x = 4
Divide by -1:
x = -4
Now prove this by substituting for x in the original equation:
(2x-1)/3 = (x-2)/1+1
x = -4
(2*-4–1)/3 = (-4–2)/1+1
Perform the addition in the denominator, and then the operations in the parentheses using PEMDAS:
(2*-4–1)/3 = (-4–2)/2
(-8–1)/3 = (-6)/2
(-9)/3 = (-6)/2
Remove the parentheses, and then divide:
-9/3 = -6/2
-3 = -3
So x = -4
