Answer:
x=-1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Solving
2x-1+8=6
2x+7=6
2x=6-7
2x=-1
x=-1/2
Checking
put x=-1/2 in equation
LHS 2(-1/2)-1+8
=-1-1+8
=8-2
=6
RHS =6
Answer: [tex]x=-1/2[/tex]
Simplify both sides of the equation
[tex]2x+-1+8=6[/tex]
[tex](2x)+(-1+8)=6[/tex] (Combine Like Terms)
[tex]2x+7=6[/tex]
Subtract 7 from both sides
[tex]2x+7-7=6-7\\2x=-1[/tex]
Divide both sides by 2
[tex]2x/2=-1/2\\x=-1/2[/tex]
