In algebra it is fully possible for x to equal to zero. After you have 2x, just divide both sides by two, so it would be 2 divided by 0 and than you would have x=0 and that would be your final answer.
2x + 1 = 4x +1
-2x +1 = 1
-2x = 0
divide by -2
x=0

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Where x represents the previous year's salary, its amount this year is said to be ...
x + 2000
The equation is trying to reflect the fact that 7% of that is $3,290. The missing number is 2000:
0.07(x +2000) = 3290
__
Solving for x, we find ...
x = (3290/0.07) -2000 = 45000
Sandra's salary the previous year was $45,000.
1/2(4+X)+2=16
2+(0.5 x X) + 2 = 16
4 + (0.5 x X) = 16
0.5 x X = 12
X = 24
