Do you want to solve for x?




x%2B2=2x-1 Start with the given equation



x=2x-1-2Subtract 2 from both sides


x-2x=-1-2 Subtract 2x from both sides


-x=-1-2 Combine like terms on the left side


-x=-3 Combine like terms on the right side


x=%28-3%29%2F%28-1%29 Divide both sides by -1 to isolate x



x=3 Divide
