Question

find the value of x 8x-2(x-5)=8x-1​

Answer 1

Answer:

x=5.5 or x=11/5

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Write the equation. 8x-2(x-5)=8x-1
2. Simplify. First distribute the 2 in the (x-5). That makes it -2x+10. Then add all like terms. 6x+10=8x-1
3. Get all x’s onto one side. Subtract 6x from both sides and add 1 to both sides. 11=2x
4. Isolate the x. Divide both sides by 2. 11/2=x or 5.5=x
5. Check your answer by replacing the x by 5.5 in the original equation. 8(5.5)-2(5.5-5)=8(5.5)-1 becomes 44-1=44-1, which further becomes 43=43

Answer is correct!
