2 (2x-1) = -2 (1+3x) solve for x

x=0

Step-by-step explanation:

Question - -> 2 (2x-1) = -2 (1+3x)

1) Distribute 2 to 2x and - 1:

4x-2=-2 (1+3x)

2) Distribute - 2 to 1 and 3x:

4x-2=-2-6x

3) Add 2 to both sides:

4x=-6x

4) Add 6x to both sides:

10x=0

5) Divide both sides by 10:

x=0

Footnotes:

1) The Distributive property says a (b+c) = ab+ac

2) There is always an implied (0) on the right side of an equation if nothing is present
