<span>2x-1=4(x+1) Given. This is the expression you were originally given. 2x-1=4x+4 Distributive Property You distributed the 4 in the subexpression 4(x + 1) to make 4x + 4 2x=4x+5 Addition or Subtraction Property of Equality You added 1 to both sides of the equation. â’2x=5 Addition or Subtraction Property of Equality You subtracted 4x from both sides of the equation. x=-5/2 Multiplication or Division Property of Equality You divided both sides by -2.</span>

Answer:

2x - 1 = 4(x + 1) Given

2x - 1 = 4x + 4 Distributive Property

2x = 4x + 5 Addition or Subtraction Property of Equality

-2x = 5 Addition or Subtraction Property of Equality

x = -5/2 Multiplication or Division Property of Equality

- I took the test, these should be right.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$30 \div \frac{1}{3} \\\\\mathrm{Convert\:element\:to\:fraction}:\quad \:30=\frac{30}{1}\\=\frac{30}{1}\div \frac{1}{3}\\\\\mathrm{Apply\:the\:fraction\:rule}:\quad \frac{a}{b}\div \frac{c}{d}=\frac{a}{b}\times \frac{d}{c}\\=\frac{30}{1}\times \frac{3}{1}\\\\\mathrm{Apply\:rule}\:\frac{a}{1}=a\\=30\times \:3\\\\=90$
