Question

Solve 2x-1=14-x with verification

Answer 1

Question:

$2x-1=14-x$

To Find:

The value of x and solve the equation.

Solution:

$2x-1=14-x\\\implies 2x+x=14+1\\\implies 3x=15\\\implies x=5$

Putting the value of x in RHS and LHS, we get,

$(2 \times 5)-1=14-5\\\implies 10-1=9\\:\implies \boxed{9=9}\\:\implies \boxed{LHS=RHS}$

Answer 2

Given,

2x-1=14-x

To find,

value of x

Solution,

2x - 1 = 14 - x

=> 2x + x = 14 + 1

=> 3x = 15

=> x = 15/3

=> x = 5

Substituting the Values

2x - 1 = 14 - x

=> 2 × 5 - 1 = 14 - 5

=> 10 - 1 = 9

=> 9 = 9

∴ L.H.S = R.H.S

Therefore the value of x is 5
