Question

can anyone help me with this question x minus one divided by 5 x + X - 2 divided by 2 is equal to X divided by 3 plus one​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

he variable is the letter on the left-hand side (LHS) of the equation. The variable is multiplied by two.

I want the x to stand alone on one side of the equation. Since the x is multiplied by 2, I need to divide on both sides by 2, in order to get the variable by itself. This is called "dividing through by 2", and it looks like this:

\small{ 2x = 5 }2x=5

\small{ \dfrac{(2x)}{2} = \dfrac{(5)}{2} }  

2

(2x)

​  

=  

2

(5)

​  

 

\small{ x = \dfrac{5}{2} }x=  

2

5

​  

 

Then the solution is:

\mathbf{\color{purple}{ \small{ \mathit{x} = \dfrac{5}{2} } }}x=  

2

5
