Answer by the redeemer
You can just make 1/2 to .5 to make it easier for you.

Then…

.5x – 4 = -1 + 2x –> -3 = 1.5x –> Divide both sides by 1.5 and you get -2.

Answer by wha
1/2x-4=-1+2x

2(1/2x-4=-1+2x) ( multiple everything through by 2 to get rip of the faction .)

1x-8=-2+4x ( you want to combine the like term like 1x and 4x. )

-8=-2+3x ( add 2 to both side )

-6=3x (divide 3 to both side )

-2=x ( and you get x )

Answer by Good guy
Hi

You can also multiply all by 2, so that you cancel the fraction

x – 8 = -2 + 4x
x – 4x = -2 + 8
-3x = 6
x = -2

Hope it helped !

Bye !!!

Answer by irina
1/2x-4=-1+2x => 1 – 8x = -2x + 4x^2 => 4x^2 + 6x – 1 = 0 => x = (36 + 4)/8 = 5 or (36 – 4)/8 = 4
