Solve 2(2x-1)=9

$$2 ( 2 x - 1 ) = 9$$

Solve for x

$$x = \frac{11}{4} = 2\frac{3}{4} = 2.75$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Divide both sides by 2.

$$2x-1=\frac{9}{2}$$

Add 1 to both sides.

$$2x=\frac{9}{2}+1$$

Convert 1 to fraction \frac{2}{2}.

$$2x=\frac{9}{2}+\frac{2}{2}$$

Since \frac{9}{2} and \frac{2}{2} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$2x=\frac{9+2}{2}$$

Add 9 and 2 to get 11.

$$2x=\frac{11}{2}$$

Divide both sides by 2.

$$x=\frac{\frac{11}{2}}{2}$$

Express \frac{\frac{11}{2}}{2} as a single fraction.

$$x=\frac{11}{2\times 2}$$

Multiply 2 and 2 to get 4.

$$x=\frac{11}{4}$$
