You can put this solution on YOUR website!
$\"4x-1=2x%2B5\"$ Start with the given equation.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"4x=2x%2B5%2B1\"$ Add $\"1\"$ to both sides.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"4x-2x=5%2B1\"$ Subtract $\"2x\"$ from both sides.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x=5%2B1\"$ Combine like terms on the left side.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x=6\"$ Combine like terms on the right side.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=%286%29%2F%282%29\"$ Divide both sides by $\"2\"$ to isolate $\"x\"$ .\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=3\"$ Reduce.\r
\n" ); document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Answer:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So the solution is $\"x=3\"$ \r
