Question

. Solve 2x – 1 = 14 – x.

Answer 1

Answer:

=> x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:-

$2x -1 = 14 - x$

To find:- The value of the expression:

Here we will use the transposition method.

First of all, we have to identify the variables and the constants.

Then solve the expression of both sides by using various mathematical operations.

As we have,

=> $2x -1 = 14 - x$

Rearrange the terms:

=> $2x -1 = -x+14$

Add $1$ on both sides, we get

=> $2x-1+1=-x+14+1$

=> $2x=-x+15$

Add $x$ on both the sides,

=> $2x+x=-x+15+x$

=> $3x=15$

Divide both sides byy $3$, we get

=> $x = 5$

Hence, the required solution is 5.
