Solution - Linear equations with one unknown

Rearrange:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

                     2*x-5-(6*x-4)=0 

Step by step solution :

Step  1  :

Pulling out like terms :

 1.1     Pull out like factors :

   -4x - 1  =   -1 • (4x + 1) 

Equation at the end of step  1  :

Step  2  :

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

 2.1      Solve  :    -4x-1 = 0 

 Add  1  to both sides of the equation : 
                      -4x = 1
Multiply both sides of the equation by (-1) :  4x = -1


Divide both sides of the equation by 4:
                     x = -1/4 = -0.250
