2x+1=53x
Combine x and x to get 2x.
2x+1-53x=0
Subtract 53x from both sides.
-51x+1=0
Combine 2x and -53x to get -51x.
-51x=-1
Subtract 1 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
x=\frac{-1}{-51}
Divide both sides by -51.
x=\frac{1}{51}
Fraction \frac{-1}{-51} can be simplified to \frac{1}{51} by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.
