thankyou ~​

Answer 1

2x+1-4x=7x+5

-->2x-4x-7x=5-1

-->-2x-12x=4

-->-9x=4

-->x=-4/9

-->x=-4/9

Answer 2

`x=-(4)/(9)`

Explanation:

2x + 1 - 4x = 7x +5

First, take 7x to the left side.

2x + 1 - 4x - 7x = 5

Now take 1 to the right side.

2x - 4x - 7x = 5 - 1

Now combine like terms.

-2x - 7x = 4

-9x = 4

Now divide both sides by -9.

x = - 4/9
