We First notice that x = 1 x=1 solves the problem.

We have e x 1 = 2 x e^{x-1}=2-x

Now, out of the two functions, represented on the two sides of the equality, we notice that the function on the left hand side , i.e. f ( x ) = e x 1 f(x)=e^{x-1} is a monotonically increasing function, and the function on the rhs i.e g ( x ) = 2 x g(x)=2-x is a monotonically decreasing function. so, these functions will have common values, i.e. their graph would cut each other, only ONCE \text{only ONCE} . :D

Since no one gives a graph. I am giving one here.

It is obvious that there is only 1 \boxed{1} real root, when x = 1 x =1 .

e^x/e +x-2=0

e^x+xe=2e

e=2.718

x=2 satisfy

Rewrite it like e^(x-1) = 2-x . Now LHS can be seen as y= e^x/e=.y= ke^x which is an increasing function and y=2-x is clarly a straight line with slope -1. CLEARLY 'ONLY ONE' REAL SOLUTION

as we know e^0=1 so e^0+1-2= 1+1-2= 0

note that value of e=2.71828
power of e if increase i.e x-1>0 then equality never become true(Observation)
power of e if decrease i.e x-1<0 then also equality never become true(Observation).
So check at x=1 which result that equality is true. Hence Only one real solution.
