Question

Hi
could you help me make this equation
x+4=5x+2

Answer 1

`x = (1)/(2)`

Explanation:

We want to solve for x in the equation in

`x + 4 = 5x + 2`

Let us group like terms to obtain:

`4 - 2 = 5x - x`

We now combine the terms to get:

`2 = 4x`

Divide both sides by 4

`x = (2)/(4) = (1)/(2)`
