Possible solution for 4+x+2-2x=5

x=1

Step-by-step explanation:

For algebra always start by rewriting it.

4+x+2-2x=5

Then ask yourself is there any like terms we can combine, and here yes there is. 4 and 2 and x and -2x. Now lets combine them and rewrite.

6-x=5

Now lets get x alone and the quickest way is to subtract 6 to the other side

6-x=5

-6    -6

  -x=-1

Now the two negatives cancel out as you would divide both sides by the coefficient -1 to get positive x alone. We can make this easier by just canceling out the negatives.

Your answer is

x=1
