Answer:
x=1
Step-by-step explanation:
-5 - (15x-1) = 2(7x-16) -x
Distribute the negative sign
-5-15x+1 = 2(7x-16)-x
Distribute the 2
-5-15x+1 = 14x -32-x
Combine like terms
-4-15x = 13x-32
Add 15x to each side
-4-15x+15x = 13x+15x-32
-4 = 28x-32
Add 32 to each side
-4+32 = 28x-32+32
28 = 28x
Divide each side by 28
28/28 = 28x/28
1 =x
