Question

(4x − 1 )/5 = 2x + 1

Answer 1

1) multiply 5 with right side
4x-1=10x+5
2) take 4x to right side n 5 to left
-5-1=10x-4x
-6=6x
x=-1

Answer 2

x = - 1

Explanation:

`(4x-1)/(5)` = 2x + 1 ( multiply both sides by 5 to clear the fraction )

4x - 1 = 5(2x + 1) ← distribute parenthesis

4x - 1 = 10x + 5 ( subtract 10x from both sides )

- 6x - 1 = 5 ( add 1 to both sides )

- 6x = 6 ( divide both sides by - 6 )

x = - 1
