Question

If 5 (1 - 2x) = 9 then X =​

Answer 1

Answer:

We will get the value of x is $-\frac{2}{5} .$

Step-by-step explanation:

• We have to evaluate the above expression by using the given data.

              Given data:- $5(1-2x)=9.$

              To find:- Value of x.

              Solution:-

• Here we will use the transposition method.

• Transposition is one of the linear equations.

• To solve the transposition method we will Identify the variables and constants.

• Then we Simplify the equation in LHS and RHS.

• Now Simplify the equation using arithmetic operations.

        $5(1-2x)=9\\=>5-10x=9\\=>-10x+5=9\\=>-10x=9-5\\=>-10x=4\\=>x=\frac{4}{-10} \\=>x=-\frac{2}{5}$

Answer 2

Answer:

The value of x here is $\frac{-2}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have been given to find the respective value of x in the expression given below by solving it. For this, we will first open the brackets and multiply according and proceed as below:

5(1-2x) = 9

⇒ 5 - 10x = 9

⇒ -10x = 9 - 5

⇒ -10x = 4

⇒ 10x = -4

⇒ x = $\frac{-4}{10}$

Now we reduce this fraction as below;

⇒ x = $\frac{-2}{5}$

Hence the value of x here is $\frac{-2}{5}$
