Question

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

Solve for X

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

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract $x$ from both sides.

$$2X-2=-1-x$$

Add $2$ to both sides.

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

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

$$2X=1-x$$

Divide both sides by $2$.

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

Dividing by $2$ undoes the multiplication by $2$.

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

Show Solution

Solve for x

$x=1-2X$

Solution Steps

Subtract $2X$ from both sides.

$$x-2=-1-2X$$

Add $2$ to both sides.

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

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

$$x=1-2X$$
