Answer:
x = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
first remove the brackets
2x - 5 = 48 - 4x + 1
then take numbers to the opposite sides
2x + 4x = 48 + 5 + 1
I have used addition because since your taking-5 to the other side it becomes+5 and -4 becomes +4
now solve
2x + 4x= 6x
48+5+1= 54
6x = 54
now solve for x
divide both sides by 6x
x = 9
