Question

solve for x: 2x-1=4x-3​

Answer 1

Answer:

x is 1

Step-by-step explanation:

2x - 1 = 4x - 3

4x - 2x = -1 + 3

2x = 2

x = 2/2

x = 1

Answer 2

Simplifying

2x + -1 = 4x + -3

Reorder the terms:

-1 + 2x = 4x + -3

Reorder the terms:

-1 + 2x = -3 + 4x

Solving

-1 + 2x = -3 + 4x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-4x' to each side of the equation.

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

Combine like terms: 2x + -4x = -2x

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

Combine like terms: 4x + -4x = 0

-1 + -2x = -3 + 0

-1 + -2x = -3

Add '1' to each side of the equation.

-1 + 1 + -2x = -3 + 1

Combine like terms: -1 + 1 = 0

0 + -2x = -3 + 1

-2x = -3 + 1

Combine like terms: -3 + 1 = -2

-2x = -2

Divide each side by '-2'.

x = 1

Simplifying

x = 1
