You can put this solution on YOUR website!
4x-2=1-(2x+3)---(1)
4x-2 = 1-2x-3
(4x)+2x=(1-3)+2
(grouping like terms by transferring terms,changing sign while changing side)
6x=-2+2
6x=0
Dividing by 6
x = 0/6=0
Answer: x = 0
Note: why is zero divided by any (non zero) quantity is zero
One simple real life example: Supposing your mom divides zero chocolates amongst all the members in the family how many chocolates does each member get?
ZERO- right!. That is it!
