x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

5x - (4x - 1) = 2

Let's get rid of the parenthesis

Multiply whatever is in the parenthesis by -1 since there is a minus sign before it

5x - 4x + 1 = 2

Move common terms to one side, so subtract 1 from both sides

5x - 4x + 1 = 2

           -  1  - 1

5x - 4x = 1

Subtract the 5x by 4x

x = 1

x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

5x - (4x - 1) = 2

5x - 4x + 1 = 2  {Distribute property  (-1) is distributed with 4x  and (-1)}

Combine like terms

x + 1 = 2

Subtract 1 from both sides

x = 2 - 1

x = 1

let's solve your equation step-by-step.

24−3x=−27

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

24−3x=−27

24+−3x=−27

−3x+24=−27

step 2: subtract 24 from both sides.

−3x+24−24=−27−24

−3x=−51

step 3: divide both sides by -3.

−3x

−3

=

−51

x=17

answer:

x=17
