Question

solve the equation and check the result 2x - 2 = 1/5 - x

Answer 1

2x -2 =1/5 -x
2x-2 =1-5x/5
2x = (1-5x+10) /5
11 - 5x= 10x
11 = 10x + 5x
11 = 15x
x = 11/15 is the answer

Answer 2

2x-2 = 1/5 -x

2x+x = 1/5+2

3x = 1+10/5 = 11/5

x = 11/5*1/3 = 11/15


check 


2*11/5 - 2 = 1/5 -11/5

22/5 -2 = -10/5

22-10/5 = -10/5

12/5  = -10/5
