    Answer: 2=x

    Step-by-step explanation:

    4x-1 + 2x-1 = 5x

    First combine like terms together

    4x-1 + 2x-1 is 4x+2x-1-1

    4x+2x-1-1 = 6x-2

    4x-1 + 2x-1=6x-2

    6x-2=5x

    The oppisite of 6x is - 6x so - 6x on both sides of equation to keep it balanced

    6x-6x-2=5x-6x

    0-2=-1x

    -2=-1x

    Divide both sides of the equation by - 1 since - 1 is being multiplied by x and the oppisite of multiply is divide

    -2/-1=-1x=-1

    2=x
