Respuesta :

[tex]5(2x - 1) = 8x + 1[/tex]

[tex]10x - 5 = 8x + 1[/tex]

Add sides 5

[tex]10x - 5 + 5 = 8x + 1 + 5[/tex]

[tex]10x = 8x + 6[/tex]

Subtract sides -8x

[tex]10x - 8x = 8x - 8x + 6[/tex]

[tex]2x = 6[/tex]

Divided sides by 2

[tex] \frac{2}{2}x = \frac{6}{2} \\ [/tex]

[tex]x = 3[/tex]

_________________________________

Check the value :

[tex]5 \times (2(3) - 1) = 8(3) + 1[/tex]

[tex]5 \times (6 - 1) = 24 + 1[/tex]

[tex]5 \times 5 = 25[/tex]

[tex]25 = 25[/tex]

Thus the value which we found is correct.

Answer: x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

First u expand 5(2x - 1): 10x - 5

10x - 5 = 8x - 1

then u add 5 to both sides

10x - 5 + 5 = 8x + 1 + 5

then u simply

10x = 8x + 6

then u add 8x from both sides

10x - 8x = 8x + 6 - 8x

then u simplify

2x = 6

Then u divide both sides by 2

2x/2 = 6/2

then u simplify

x = 3
