How to solve -(x+1)=-(2x-1)

1. Factor the equation (x + 2)(x + 3) = 0. 2. Set each factor equal to zero: x + 2 = 0 and x + 3 = 0. 3. Solve for x: x = -2 and x = -3.

$$-(x+1)=-(2x-1)$$

Solve for x

$x=2$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

To find the opposite of $x+1$, find the opposite of each term.

$$-x-1=-\left(2x-1\right)$$

To find the opposite of $2x-1$, find the opposite of each term.

$$-x-1=-2x-\left(-1\right)$$

The opposite of $-1$ is $1$.

$$-x-1=-2x+1$$

Add $2x$ to both sides.

$$-x-1+2x=1$$

Combine $-x$ and $2x$ to get $x$.

$$x-1=1$$

Add $1$ to both sides.

$$x=1+1$$

Add $1$ and $1$ to get $2$.

$$x=2$$
