Simplify this 2x - 1 = 8

Answer is below. Look at the steps to clearly understand my answer.

Now, the first time to simplifying this to add both sides by 1.

2x - 1 = 8 → 2x - 1 + 1 = 8  + 1

Since we added both sides, we'll now simplify the problem.

Add both numbers.

Lastly, we'll divide both sides of the equation by the same term.

Now, cancel both terms that are in both the numerator and denominator.

If you look back at the fraction, 2 is in  the numerator and denominator, so we'll cancel those terms.

When you cancelled the terms, you should get x = 9/2.

Hi, there the answer is

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Add 1 to both sides.

2x−1+1=8+1

2x=9

Step 2: Divide both sides by 2.

2x /2 = 9 /2

x= 9 /2
