Find a value of x that makes the equation true:
-(-2x + 1) = 9 – 14x


Sagot :

Answer:

x=0.625

Step-by-step explanation:

-(-2x+1)=9-14x

distribute:

2x-1=9-14x

add  1 to both sides

2x = 10-14x

add 14x to both sides

16x=10

divide by 16 to isolate x

x = 0.625

check:

-(-2(0.625)+1) = 9-14(0.625)

0.25 = 0.25

The final answer to this problem would be 0=0.625
