Question

Simplify this 2x - 1 = 8

Answer 1

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.

• 2x - 1 + 1 = 2x

• 8 + 1 = 9

• 2x = 9

Lastly, we'll divide both sides of the equation by the same term.

• 2x = 9

• $\frac{2x}{2} =\frac{9}{2}$

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.

Answer 2

Answer:

Hi, there the answer is $x=\frac{9}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Add 1 to both sides.

2x−1+1=8+1

2x=9

Step 2: Divide both sides by 2.

2x /2 = 9 /2

x= 9 /2
