Question

$5 - 3(1 + x) = 2x - (1 - 2x)$
​

Answer 1

Answer:

5−3(1+)=2−1(1−2)

5-3(1+x)=2x-1(1-2x)5−3(1+x)=2x−1(1−2x)

Solve

1.Rearrange terms

5−3(1+)=2−1(1−2)

5−3(+1)=2−1(1−2)

2.Distribute

5−3(+1)=2−1(1−2)

5−3−3=2−1(1−2)

3.Subtract the numbers

5−3−3=2−1(1−2)

2−3=2−1(1−2)

4.Rearrange terms

2−3=2−1(1−2)

−3+2=2−1(1−2)

5.Rearrange terms

−3+2=2−1(1−2)

−3+2=2−1(−2+1)

6.Distribute

−3+2=2−1(−2+1)

−3+2=2+2−1

7.Combine like terms

−3+2=2+2−1

−3+2=4−1

8.Subtract 

2

22

 from both sides of the equation

−3+2=4−1

−3+2−2=4−1−2

9.Simplify

Subtract the numbers

Subtract the numbers

−3=4−3

10.Subtract 

4

4x4x

 from both sides of the equation

−3=4−3

−3−4=4−3−4

11.Simplify

Combine like terms

Combine like terms

−7=−3

12.Divide both sides of the equation by the same term

−7=−3

−7−7=−3−7

13.Simplify

$x = \frac{3}{7}$

Answer 2

5 - 3 ( 1 + x ) = 2x - ( 1 - 2x )

5 - 3 - 3x = 2x - 1 + 2x

- 3x - 2x - 2x = - 1 + 3 - 5

- 7x = - 3

x = 3/7
