Question

$$2X+1=0$$

Solve for X

$X=-\frac{1}{2}=-0.5$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract $1$ from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.

$$2X=-1$$

Divide both sides by $2$.

$$X=\frac{-1}{2}$$

Fraction $\frac{-1}{2}$ can be rewritten as $-\frac{1}{2}$ by extracting the negative sign.

$$X=-\frac{1}{2}$$
