Answer:

x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

When there is a "-" (minus) sign in front of parenthesis, we distribute the sign inside. Let's do this with "-(x+1)". So we will have:

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

Now, we follow rules of algebra. We take variables to one side and numbers to another side (remember to change signs with changing sides). Shown below:

5x-x-1=5-2x\\5x-x+2x=5+1

Now, we add like terms in left side. Such as:

ax + bx = (a+b)x

Thus, we have:

5x-x+2x=5+1\\6x=5+1

Now, we add right side and divide and get a value for x:

6x=5+1\\6x=6\\x=\frac{6}{6}\\x=1

The value of x is 1

<span>Saul works at the local car dealership.
=> He makes 2% commission on all sales.
=> He sells a car worth $20,000.
Question: What is his commission
=> We need to get the 2% value of 20 000 dollars for his commission. To do that simply convert 2% into decimal value then multiply it with 20 000 dollars.
=> 2% / 100% = 0.02
=> 20 000 * .02 = 400 dollars is his commission.</span>
