       4x - 1 - 2x + 1 = 2x + 5 - 2x + 1 ;
___________________________________________________
          2x = 6 ;
_________________________________
Divide EACH side of the equation by "2" ; to isolate "x" on ONE side of the equation;  and to solve for "x" ;
_________________________________
          2x / 2  =  6 / 2 ;
_________________________________
               x  =  3 .
