The solution

You have entered [src]
5 - 2*(x - 1) = 4*x
52(x1)=4x5 - 2 \left(x - 1\right) = 4 x
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
5-2*(x-1) = 4*x

Expand brackets in the left part
5-2*x+2*1 = 4*x

Looking for similar summands in the left part:
7 - 2*x = 4*x

Move free summands (without x)
from left part to right part, we given:
2x=4x7- 2 x = 4 x - 7
Move the summands with the unknown x
from the right part to the left part:
(6)x=7\left(-6\right) x = -7
Divide both parts of the equation by -6
x = -7 / (-6)

We get the answer: x = 7/6
