4x+1=2x-5
you need to isolate the x on one side so
4x+1=2x-5
-4x -4x (you need to subtract 4x by both sides of the =)
so you get
1=-2x-5
so now you need to keep simplifying now you need to subtract the five from both sides
1=-2x-5
-5 -5
-4=2x
now divide the 2 on both sides
-4=2x
/2 /2
-2=x
answer x = -2
4x+1=2x-5
First subtract 1 from each side.
4x+1-1=2x-5-5
That would be 4x=2x-10
Then divide by 2x on both sides
4x/2x=2x/2x-10
That would be 2x=-10
Then divide one more time by 2 on both sides
Like so, 2x/2=-10/2
Your answer is x=-5
First subtract 1 from each side.
4x+1-1=2x-5-5
That would be 4x=2x-10
Then divide by 2x on both sides
4x/2x=2x/2x-10
That would be 2x=-10
Then divide one more time by 2 on both sides
Like so, 2x/2=-10/2
Your answer is x=-5
