The error is in step 2. -x and 3x combine to make 2x, not 4x
We have the following expression:
4x + 1 = 6x - 2
We clear x of the expression.
We pass the variables to the right and the constant terms to the left:
1 + 2 = 6x-4x
We rewrite the expression:
3 = 2x
We passed the 2 to divide:
3/2 = x
Answer:
The value of x is:
x = 3/2
You cannot divide any number by zero since it is meaningless to say that we are dividing a number or object in zero groups or in 0 size parts
Consecutive means they are right next to each other.
For example 6 and 7. 6+7 = 13
Or 8 and 9. 8+9=17
Hope that helps
