OK.......First just multiply everything out:
2 = 4x - 4 + 1 - 3x
Then cancel everything that can:
2 = 4x - 3x -4 + 1 = x - 3
2 = x - 3
Now add 3 to both sides of the equation:
2 + 3 = x - 3 + 3
Thus, 5 = x or X is equal to 5.
Does that help?

the answer is x=5
to get that answer you distribute the right side of the equation.
2=4x-4+1-3x
now you subtract 3x from 4x.
2=x-4+1
then you add -4 and 1
2+x-3
now you add fthree to each side to cancel the negative three out to get x by itself.
5=x
you can check your work by plugging the 5 in where x would be.
2= 4(5-1)+1-3(5)
2=20-4+1-15
2=16+1-15
2=17-15
2=2

2 = 4(x-1) + 1 -3x
2 = 4x - 4 + 1 -3x
2 = x [4x -3x] -3 [-4 +1]
[showing why i did this]
2 = x - 3
x = 5 [2 + 3 (you are moving the -3 to other side so it is +3)]
x = 5

2=4x -4 +1-3X
2= (4x-3x) + (-4 +1)
2= x -3
add 3 to the other side
x=5

Multiply with the aid of out with the aid of 3: 9x^2-12x-3=-a million 9x^2-12x=2. next step is the main imp. upload 4 to the two aspects to make the left area an entire sq. (3x-2)^2=6 Take squareroot. 3x-2=Sqrt6 ( notice here we are taking the +ve root. Minus Sqrt 6 is likewise suited. 3x=2+Sqrt6 x=(2+Sqrt6)/3

2 = 4x - 4 + 1 - 3x
2 = x - 3
5 = x
Use the distributive property and add all the #x's and numbers up.
