Question

4x + 1 = 2x – 5 can someone help me. Whoever gets it right gets it right gets brainliest

Answer 1

Hello Human!!

Your answer is below!!

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying:

$4x + 1 = 2x + -5$

Reorder the terms:

$1 + 4x = 2x + -5$

Solving:

$1 + 4x = -5 + 2x$

Solving for variable $x.$

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add $-2x$ to each side of the equation.

$1 + 4x + -2x = -5 + 2x + -2x$

Combine like terms: $4x + -2x = 2x$

$1 + 2x = -5 + 2x + -2x$

Combine like terms: $2x + -2x = 0$

$1 + 2x = -5 + 0$

$1 + 2x = -5$

Add $-1$ to each side of the equation.

$1 + -1 + 2x = -5 + -1$

Combine like terms: $1 + -1 = 0$

$0 + 2x = -5 + -1$

$2x = -5 + -1$

Combine like terms: $-5 + -1 = -6$

$2x = -6$

Divide each side by $2$.

$x = -3$

Simplifying

$x = -3$

So, Your answer is $x = -3$$.$

P.S Tell me if this is wrong...

$Good Luck!!$

Answer 2

Answer:

x=-3

Step-by-step explanation:

subtract "2x" to "4x + 1" and that'll leave -5 by itself and leave 2x+1 on the left and -5 on the right then subtract -1 to -5 and it'll add up to -6 then after that you'd divide 2x to -6 and get -3 and it'll leave 'x' by itself so therefore X = -3
