Answer: 2=x
Step-by-step explanation:
4x-1 + 2x-1 = 5x
First combine like terms together
4x-1 + 2x-1 is 4x+2x-1-1
4x+2x-1-1 =6x-2
4x-1 + 2x-1=6x-2
6x-2=5x
The oppisite of 6x is -6x so -6x on both sides of equation to keep it balanced
6x-6x-2=5x-6x
0-2=-1x
-2=-1x
Divide both sides of the equation by -1 since -1 is being multiplied by x and the oppisite of multiply is divide
-2/-1=-1x=-1
2=x
