Solve 2(x-1)=4x+3

Evaluate

2 (x - 1) = 4 x + 3

Expand the expression

More Steps

2 x - 2 = 4 x + 3

Move the expression to the left side

2 x - 2 - 4 x = 3

Move the expression to the right side

2 x - 4 x = 3 + 2

Add and subtract

More Steps

- 2 x = 3 + 2

Add and subtract

- 2 x = 5

Change the signs on both sides of the equation

2 x = - 5

Divide both sides

\frac{2 x}{2} = \frac{- 5}{2}

Divide the numbers

x = \frac{- 5}{2}

Solution

x = - \frac{5}{2}

Alternative Form

x = - 2.5
