Question

x-(2x+5) = 7-x/2
Solve and Verify​

Answer 1

x = -24

Step-by-step explanation:

solution.

x-(2x+5) = 7-x/2

x-2x-5 = 7- x/2

-x -5 = 7- x/2

-7-5 = x/2

-12 = x/2

x = -24

for verification put x = -24 in the equation

-24-[2*(-24)+5] = 7 - (-24)/2

-24-[-48+5] = 7 +12

-24+43=19

19=19
