Answer:

x=-5

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets take 2(x+1) first

carry on the 2 to the parenthesis

2 . x & 2 x 1

=2x+1

next we put it back in the equation

x-4=2x+1

cancel out the common terms

for example when you bring the +1 to the other side it will become -1

now we will do -4(-1)

=-5

rewrite the equation:

x-5=2x

do the same with the x! :)

equation:2x-x

=x (or 1x)

so -5=x

thats your answer!

x=-5
