Question

$$\frac{1-2x}{2x+5}=0$$

Solve for x

$x=\frac{1}{2}=0.5$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Variable $x$ cannot be equal to $-\frac{5}{2}$ since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by $2x+5$.

$$1-2x=0$$

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 simplified to $\frac{1}{2}$ by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.

$$x=\frac{1}{2}$$
