Evaluate
2x−1=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
2x=0+1
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
2x=1
Divide both sides
22x=21
Divide the numbers
x=21
x=0x=21
Check if the solution is in the defined range
x=0x=21,x≥0
Find the intersection of the solution and the defined range
x=0x=21
