4x-(2x+1)/3 =5

4 x - \frac{2 x + 1}{3} = 5

x = \frac{8}{5}

Solution steps

4 x - \frac{2 x + 1}{3} = 5

Multiply both sides by

3

12 x - (2 x + 1) = 15

Expand

12 x - (2 x + 1) : 10 x - 1

10 x - 1 = 15

Move

1

to the right side

10 x = 16

Divide both sides by

10

x = \frac{8}{5}

3 x + 2 = 10 - 4 (x - 1)

3 = x + 8

27 x - 3 = 2 x + 4

12 x - 5 = 3 + 10 x

7 - x = 19
