Solve by Graphing -5/2x-1=4x+2

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

Step 1

Simplify each term.

Combine $x$ and $\frac{5}{2}$ .

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

Move $5$ to the left of $x$ .

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

Step 2

Graph each side of the equation. The solution is the x-value of the point of intersection.

$x \approx - 0.46153846$
