Question

Explanation / Answer

(1/3)(2x + 2) = 2(2 - 2x) + 1 => (2/3)x + 2/3 = 4 - 4x + 1 => (2/3)x + 2/3 = 5 - 4x => (2/3)x + 4x = 5 - 2/3 => (2/3)x + (12/3)x = 15/3 - 2/3 => (14/3)x = 13/3 => x = (13/3)(3/14) => x = 13/14 Check: (1/3)( 2(13/14) + 2 ) = (1/3)( (26/14) + 2 ) = 26/42 + 2/3 = 26/42 + 28/42 = 54/42 = 9/7 2( 2 - 2(13/14) ) + 1 = 2(2 - 26/14) + 1 = 4 - 52/14 + 1 = 5 - 52/14 = 70/14 - 52/14 = 18/14 = 9/7 If you find this post helpful, please rate it.
