Question

-2x + 1 = 4x + 9
I don’t know what to solve for x?

Answer 1

x = -1.33333333333

Explanation:

`\mathrm{Subtract\:}1\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}`

`-2x+1-1=4x+9-1`

`\mathrm{Simplify}`

`-2x=4x+8`

`\mathrm{Subtract\:}4x\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}`

`-2x-4x=4x+8-4x`

`\mathrm{Simplify}`

`-6x=8`

`\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}-6`

`(-6x)/(-6)=(8)/(-6)`

`x=-(4)/(3)`

`x=-1.33333333333`
