Answer:
x = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
5x - (4x - 1) = 2
Let's get rid of the parenthesis
Multiply whatever is in the parenthesis by -1 since there is a minus sign before it
5x - 4x + 1 = 2
Move common terms to one side, so subtract 1 from both sides
5x - 4x + 1 = 2
- 1 - 1
5x - 4x = 1
Subtract the 5x by 4x
x = 1
Answer:
x = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
5x - (4x - 1) = 2
5x - 4x + 1 = 2 {Distribute property (-1) is distributed with 4x and (-1)}
Combine like terms
x + 1 = 2
Subtract 1 from both sides
x = 2 - 1
x = 1
