Step-by-step explanation:
__________________________________
4x - 1 = 2x + 5 ; Solve for "x" ;
__________________________________
Subtract "2x" from each side of the equation; and add "1" to each side of the equation:
___________________________________________________
4x - 1 - 2x + 1 = 2x + 5 - 2x + 1 ;
___________________________________________________
2x = 6 ;
_________________________________
Divide EACH side of the equation by "2" ; to isolate "x" on ONE side of the equation; and to solve for "x" ;
_________________________________
2x / 2 = 6 / 2 ;
_________________________________
x = 3 .
