x = 3/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Given equation is:

As we have to solve for x, x will be isolated on one side of the equation
So,
<u>1. Addition property of equality </u>
4x will be added on both sides

<u>2. Division property of Equality</u>
Dividing both sides by 6

Hence,
x = 3/2

It will be a negative.
for an example: -20 for x would mqke 2x + 1 into -39 and 8x + 5 into -155. that's 116 apart, so maybe -2(8) + 5 = -11
-2(2) + 1 = -3
but that's only 8 apart, so it'd be higher.
-4(2) + 1 = -7
-4(8) + 5 = -27
BOOM
Tadaaaa,
You probably thought positive, but sometimes it's negative, you know what I mean?
85.25 would be one thenth of 8.524
