Question

solve the equation ;
5(-x + 1) = -8​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

5(-x + 1) = -8

-5x + 5 = -8

-5x = -8 - 5

-5x = -13

x = -13/-5 = 13/5

Answer 2

$\large\mathfrak \pink{Solution:-}$

$\underline \mathbb{GIVEN:-}$

$\implies \: 5(-x + 1) = -8$

$\underline \mathbb{TO \: FIND:-}$

$\implies \: Value \: \: of \: x$

$\underline \mathbb{BY \: THE \: PROBLEM:-}$

$5(-x + 1) = -8 \\ \\ \implies \: - 5x + 5 = - 8 \\ \\ \implies \: - 5x = - 8 - 5 \\ \\ \implies \: - 5x = - 13 \\ \\ \implies \: x = \frac{ - 13}{ - 5} \\ \implies x = \frac{13}{5} = 2\frac{3}{5}$

$\underline \mathbb{ANSWER:-}$

$\implies \boxed{x = 2\frac{3}{5} }$

$\underline \mathbb{VERIFICATION:-}$

$5(-x + 1) = -8\\ \\ \implies -5x+5 = -8\\ \\ \implies -5x = -8-5\\ \\ \implies -5x = -13\\ \\ \implies -5 \times \frac{13}{5} =-13\\ \\ \implies \boxed {-13 =-13}\\ \\ \mathfrak\pink{\fbox{ Hence Proved}}$
