5. 2x – 1 = 14 – x


Answer :

Given 2x – 1 = 14 – x
\(\Rightarrow\) 2x + x = 14 + 1 (Transposing x to LHS and 1 to RHS)

\(\Rightarrow\) 3x = 15

\(\Rightarrow\)x = 15 ÷ 3 = 5

Hence x = 5 is the required solution.

Checking:

2x – 1 = 14 – x

Substituting x = 5 in the given equation,we have,

LHS= 2x – 1 = 2 × 5 – 1 = 10 – 1 = 9

RHS = 14 – x = 14 – 5 = 9

LHS = RHS

Hence x = 5 is the required solution.
