Question

here is an equation.
\\(-5 = 1 - 2x\\)
draw a graph to help solve the equation. then find the solution to the equation.
solution: \\(x = \square\\)

Explanation:

Step1: Isolate the variable term

To solve \(-5 = 1 - 2x\), first subtract 1 from both sides.
\(-5 - 1 = 1 - 2x - 1\)
\(-6 = -2x\)

Step2: Solve for x

Divide both sides by -2.
\(\frac{-6}{-2} = \frac{-2x}{-2}\)
\(3 = x\)

Answer:

\(x = 3\)
