Question

2x + 1 = 4x - 19
Solve for x

Answer 1

Answer:
`\Large\boxed{x=10}`

Explanation:

2x + 1 = 4x - 19

Add 19 on both sides

2x + 1 +19 = 4x - 19 + 19

2x + 20 = 4x

Subtract 2x on both sides

2x + 20 - 2x = 4x - 2x

20 = 2x

Divide 2 on both sides

20 / 2 = 2x / 2

`\Large\boxed{x=10}`

Answer 2

x = 10

Explanation:

2x + 1 = 4x - 19

Solve for x

2x + 1 = 4x - 19

-2x = -20

x = 20 : 2

x = 10

check

2 * 10 + 1 = 4 * 10 - 19

21 = 21

the answer is good
