Question

Luca shows his work in finding the solution to 2−6x=5−5(x−1). After checking his answer in the original equation, he found that it did not work. Where did he make a mistake?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Aloha !

2-6x=5-5(x-1)

2-6x=5-5x-5

Answer 2

Answer:

given is 2-6x=5-5(x-1)

step1. take LHS 5-5(x-1)

5-5x-5

which is equal to -5x

step2. 2-6x=-5x

2= -5x + 6x

2=x

therefore x= 2
