Question

$$4x-7=1+2x$$

Solve for x

$x=4$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract $2x$ from both sides.

$$4x-7-2x=1$$

Combine $4x$ and $-2x$ to get $2x$.

$$2x-7=1$$

Add $7$ to both sides.

$$2x=1+7$$

Add $1$ and $7$ to get $8$.

$$2x=8$$

Divide both sides by $2$.

$$x=\frac{8}{2}$$

Divide $8$ by $2$ to get $4$.

$$x=4$$
