Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
4x+6=4+(2x+1)
Opening bracket
4x + 6 = 4 + 2x + 1
Collecting like terms
4x - 2x = 4 + 1 - 6
2x = -1
x = -1/2
Answer: x = -1/2 or -0.5
Step-by-step explanation:
4x + 6 = 4 + (2x + 1)
4x + 6 = 5 + 2x
subtract 5 from both sides
4x + 1 = 2x
subtract 4x
1 = -2x
divide by -2
1/-2 = x
simplifies to x= -1/2
