Solve the following equation and check your results.

2x - 1 = 14 - x

Solution

2x - 1 = 14 - x
Transposing (-1) to RHS, we have
                             2x = 14 -x +1
or                           2x = 15 -x
Transposing (-x) to LHS, we have
                              2x + x = 15
or                                    3x = 15
Dividing both sides by 3, we have
                                     straight x equals 15 over 3 equals 5

∴                                    x = 5
