Solve for x 5x-4+x=2x

$5 x - 4 + x = 2 x$

Step 1

Add $5 x$ and $x$ .

$6 x - 4 = 2 x$

Step 2

Move all terms containing $x$ to the left side of the equation.

Subtract $2 x$ from both sides of the equation.

$6 x - 4 - 2 x = 0$

Subtract $2 x$ from $6 x$ .

$4 x - 4 = 0$

Step 3

Add $4$ to both sides of the equation.

$4 x = 4$

Step 4

Divide each term in $4 x = 4$ by $4$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $4 x = 4$ by $4$ .

$\frac{4 x}{4} = \frac{4}{4}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $4$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{4 x}{4} = \frac{4}{4}$

Divide $x$ by $1$ .

$x = \frac{4}{4}$

Simplify the right side.

Divide $4$ by $4$ .

$x = 1$
