Solve 1-2left(x+1right)5+18-11x=-2

$$1-2 \left( x+1 \right) 5+18-11x = -2$$

Solve for x

$$x=\frac{11}{21}\approx 0.523809524$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply 2 and 5 to get 10.

$$1-10\left(x+1\right)+18-11x=-2$$

Use the distributive property to multiply -10 by x+1.

$$1-10x-10+18-11x=-2$$

Subtract 10 from 1 to get -9.

$$-9-10x+18-11x=-2$$

Add -9 and 18 to get 9.

$$9-10x-11x=-2$$

Combine -10x and -11x to get -21x.

$$9-21x=-2$$

Subtract 9 from both sides.

$$-21x=-2-9$$

Subtract 9 from -2 to get -11.

$$-21x=-11$$

Divide both sides by -21.

$$x=\frac{-11}{-21}$$

Fraction \frac{-11}{-21} can be simplified to \frac{11}{21} by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.

$$x=\frac{11}{21}$$
