Question

What's the solution for x? 4+x+2-2x=5

Answer 1

4 + x + 2 - 2x = 5

First, simplify to 4 - x + 2.

`4 - x + 2 = 5`
Second, keep the '- x' and add 4 + 2.

`6 - x = 5`
Third, subtract '6' from both sides.

`-x = 5 - 6`
Fourth, subtract 5 - 6.

`-x = -1`
Fifth, multiply both sides by -1.

`x = 1`

Answer: x = 1
