Question

PLZ HELPx-5(x-1) = x- (2x-3)​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x-5(x-1) = x- (2x-3)​

x  + x *(-5) + (-1) * (-5) = x +  2x*(-1) + (-3)*(-1) {use distributive property}

x - 5x + 5 = x - 2x +3   {Combine like terms}

    -4x + 5 = - x +3           {Add 'x' to both sides}

-4x + 5 + x  = -x + x + 3

       -3x + 5 = 3           {subtract 5 from both sides}

            -3x = 3 - 5

            -3x = -2           {Divide both sides by (-3)}

              x = -2/-3

               x = 2/3
