Question

solve the following equation and check your answer: 2x - 1 = 14 - x ​

Answer 1

$\huge\underline\mathrm{SOLUTION:-}$

2x - 1 = 14 - x

➠ 2x + x = 14 + 1

➠ 3x = 15

➠ x = 15/3

➠ x = 5

To Check:

2x - 1 = 14 - x

➠ 2 × 5 - 1 = 14 - 5

➠ 10 - 1 = 9

➠ 9 = 9

➠ L.H.S = R.H.S

• Hence, it is correct.
