2x+3=x-20+4x-1

2 x + 3 = x - 20 + 4 x - 1

x = 8

Solution steps

2 x + 3 = x - 20 + 4 x - 1

Group like terms

2 x + 3 = x + 4 x - 20 - 1

Add similar elements:

x + 4 x = 5 x

2 x + 3 = 5 x - 20 - 1

Subtract the numbers:

- 20 - 1 = - 21

2 x + 3 = 5 x - 21

Move

3

to the right side

2 x = 5 x - 24

Move

5 x

to the left side

- 3 x = - 24

Divide both sides by

- 3

x = 8

\frac{21 + 18 + x + 22 + 23}{5} = 20

339 x + 25 = 5 + 309 x + 20

y - \frac{2 y}{5} = \frac{6}{5}

0.2 (x + 1) + 0.5 x = - 0.3 (x - 4)

\frac{2 x + 1}{6} - \frac{3 - x}{2} = \frac{x - 1}{3} - 2
