x = - 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for x:
2 x - 1 = 4 x + 5
Subtract 4 x from both sides:
(2 x - 4 x) - 1 = (4 x - 4 x) + 5
2 x - 4 x = - 2 x:
-2 x - 1 = (4 x - 4 x) + 5
4 x - 4 x = 0:
-2 x - 1 = 5
Add 1 to both sides:
(1 - 1) - 2 x = 1 + 5
1 - 1 = 0:
-2 x = 5 + 1
5 + 1 = 6:
-2 x = 6
Divide both sides of - 2 x = 6 by - 2:
(-2 x) / (-2) = 6 / (-2)
(-2) / (-2) = 1:
x = 6 / (-2)
The gcd of 6 and - 2 is 2, so 6 / (-2) = (2*3) / (2 (-1)) = 2/2*3 / (-1) = 3 / (-1):
x = 3 / (-1)
Multiply numerator and denominator of 3 / (-1) by - 1:
Answer: x = - 3
