Question

Solve the linear equation in one variable: 2x + 1 = -9.?

Answer 1

Answer:

2x +1 = -9

2x=-9-1

2x=-10

x= -10÷2

x -5

Answer 2

Here, we have to find the find the value of the variable 'x'.

Given equation:

$2x+1=-9$

On transposing +1 to RHS, we have-

$2x=-9-1$

Further solving,

$2x=-10$

This can further be written as-

$2 \times x=-10$

On transporting 2 to RHS, we get-

$x=\frac{-10}{2}$

Finally, we have the value of 'x'-

$x=-5$

Since x=-5 satisfies the equation, the answer is correct.
