Question

Solve the following equation:

$\frac{x-1}{2}-x+13=5-x$

• A. $-15$
• B. $22$
• C. $-6$
• D. $12$

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

$-15$

Given, $\frac{x-1}{2}-x+13=5-x$

Multiply whole equation by $2$,

$x-1-2x+26=10-2x$

Bring all $x$ terms on one side and constants on another side,

$x-2x+2x=10-26+1$

$x=10-25$

$x=-15$
