Answer:

2x-1 = 5x-14

Step-by-step explanation:

5(2x−1) = 5(5x−14)

Divide each side by 5

5/5(2x−1) = 5/5(5x−14)

2x-1 = 5x-14

Answer:

A.

Step-by-step explanation:

5(2x−1) = 5(5x−14)

10x - 5 = 25x - 70

65 = 15x

x = 13/3.

Take Option A.

2x - 1 = 5x - 14

3x = 13

x = 13/3 so its this one.

B: 10x - 5 = 5x - 14

5x = -9

x = -9/5 so NOT B.

C. simplifies to x = 3. so NOT C.
