Hello :)

Answer -

x = 11/2

Step-by-step explanation -

Our task is to solve the equation: 4x + 1 = 2x + 12.

$\begin{gathered}\sf{4x+1=2x+12}\\\sf{4x-2x+1=12}\\\sf{2x+1=12}\\\sf{2x=11}\\\sf{x=\cfrac{11}{2}}\end{gathered}$

Henceforth, x = 11/2.

Answer:

Explanation:

4x + 1 = 2x + 12

4x - 2x = 12 - 1

2x = 11

x = 11 : 2

x = 5.5 or 5 1/2

----------------------------

check

4 × 5.5 + 1 = 2 × 5.5 + 12 (remember PEMDAS)

22 + 1 = 11 + 12

23 = 23

same value the answer is good
