will fan and medal :) (going to post the equation in a sec)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ 5x+2 }{ 2 } = 2x-1\] x = ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Multiply both sides of the equation by 2: \(5x + 2 = 4x - 2\) Subract 2 to both sides, what's -2 - 2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

*Subtract

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-2-2 = -4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, so we have: \(5x = 4x - 4\) Now we subtract 4x to both sides, what's 5x - 4x?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1x? or just x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, so we have: x = -4 That's our answer
