Question

can anyone answer the question for algebra: 5x - ( x + 1 ) = 5 - 2x

Answer 1

Answer:

X = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

5x - (x + 1) = 5 - 2x   - distribute parenthesis

5x - x - 1 = 5 - 2x   - combine like terms

4x - 1 = 5 - 2x   - add 2x

6x - 1 = 5   - add 1

6x = 6   - divide by 6

x = 1
