How do I solve this question 5x - [7 - (2x - 1)] = 3(x - 5) + 4(x + 3)

x = 6/4, or x = 3/2, OR x = 1 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

5x - [7 - (2x-1)] = 3(x-5) + 4(x+3)

Pick one side to work on first, I will chose the right side,

Distribute on the right side.

5x - [7 - (2x-1)] = 3x - 15 + 4x + 3

Now, add like terms on the right side.

5x - [7 - (2x-1)] = 7x - 12

Now, to isolate 7 - (2x -1), subtract 5x from both sides.

so now,

-7 - (2x-1) = 2x - 12

Now, we can add 7 to both sides of the equation to isolate -(2x-1)

we add instead of subtract because the seven is a negative.

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

Now, there is still a negative sign in front of the (2x-1), so we distribute the - to the equation.

-2x + 1 = 2x - 5

Now, we can isolate the variable and numbers bu adding five to both sides, and adding 2 to both sides. This is to make the equation easier by removing any negative terms.

6 = 4x

Divide both sides by 4

x = 6/4, or x = 3/2, OR x = 1 1/2
