Answer:
[tex]x = -5\frac{1}{2}[/tex] is the solution
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]3x - 1 = 5x + 10[/tex] --- Correct expression
[tex]x = -5\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
Required
Determine if the given solution is correct
To do this, we simply solve for x in the given equation.
So, we have:
[tex]3x - 1 = 5x + 10[/tex]
Collect like terms
[tex]3x - 5x = 1 + 10[/tex]
[tex]-2x = 11[/tex]
Divide both sides by -2
[tex]\frac{-2x}{-2} = \frac{11}{-2}[/tex]
[tex]x = -\frac{11}{2}[/tex]
[tex]x = -5\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
