Answer is below. Look at the steps to clearly understand my answer.
Now, the first time to simplifying this to add both sides by 1.
2x - 1 = 8 → 2x - 1 + 1 = 8 + 1
Since we added both sides, we'll now simplify the problem.
Add both numbers.
Lastly, we'll divide both sides of the equation by the same term.
- [tex]\frac{2x}{2} =\frac{9}{2}[/tex]
Now, cancel both terms that are in both the numerator and denominator.
If you look back at the fraction, 2 is in the numerator and denominator, so we'll cancel those terms.
When you cancelled the terms, you should get x = 9/2.
