Linear equations

The graphical representation of a linear equation is a straight line. To solve linear equations, it is important to keep in mind the following key concepts:

  • Maintain the balance of the equation by applying the same operations to both sides of the equation.
  • Clear the variable using like terms.
  • Use inverse operations to rearrange the equation.

-x + 5 = 1

We will subtract 5 from both sides.

−x + 5 - 5 = 1 - 5

−x = -4

We divide both sides by -1.

-x/x = -4/-1

x = 4

Answer: Therefore the solution of the exercise -x+5=1, is x = 4. The correct option is "D". ✅
