5-x-2=3%2B4x-1 Start with the given equation.


-x%2B3=3%2B4x-1 Combine like terms on the left side.


-x%2B3=4x%2B2 Combine like terms on the right side.


-x=4x%2B2-3 Subtract 3 from both sides.


-x-4x=2-3 Subtract 4x from both sides.


-5x=2-3 Combine like terms on the left side.


-5x=-1 Combine like terms on the right side.


x=%28-1%29%2F%28-5%29 Divide both sides by -5 to isolate x.


x=1%2F5 Reduce.
