Quizplus · Accepted Answer

First, simplify the equation: $9x - (4x - 1) = 2$ becomes $9x - 4x + 1 = 2$. Simplify further to get $5x + 1 = 2$. Subtract 1 from both sides to get $5x = 1$. Divide both sides by 5 to solve for $x$, giving $x = \frac{1}{5}$.

Solve the Equation 9x−(4x−1)=29 x - ( 4 x - 1 ) = 29x−(4x−1)=2

Solve the Equation $9 x - ( 4 x - 1 ) = 2$
