[x-1]=5x+10

We have two equations:
1) x-1=5x+10

x-1=5x+10
x-5x=10+1
-4x=11
x=-11/4

2) x-1=-(5x+10)

x-1=-(5x+10)
x-1=-5x-10
x+5x=-10+1
6x=-9
x=-9/6=-3/2

we have two  possible solutions:
solution₁;       x=-11/4
solution₂:       x=-3/2

we check it out:
1) x=-11/4
[x-1]=5x+10
[-11/4  - 1]=5(-11/4)+10
[(-11-4)/4]=-55/4  + 10
[-15/4]=(-55+40) /4
15/4≠-15/4   This solution don´t work.

2) x=-3/2
[x-1]=5x+10
[-3/2  - 1]=5(-3/2)+10
[(-3-2)/2]=-15/2  + 10
[-5/2]=(-15+20)/2
5/2=5/2; this solution works.

Therefore:

Answer: x=-3/2.

Solution #1 x-1=5x+10


x-1=5x+10

x-5x=10+1

-4x=11

x=-11/4

Solution #2 x-1=-(5x+10)


x-1=-(5x+10)

x-1=-5x-10

x+5x=-10+1

6x=-9

x=-9/6=-3/2

iVinArrow [24]
$2.39 * 2 (jars of peanut butter) = $ 4.78. $4.78 - $1 (discount because of the coupon when buying 2 jars of peanut butter) is equal to $3.78. Therefore, the final price of the two jars is $ 3.78.

To simply put -
