We can solve this by following the steps I'm about to explain.
1) Write the equation out.
• 4x + 1 = 2x - 3
2) Get the numbers and variables to their own side.
• 4x + 1 = 2x - 3
• 4x + 1 - 1 = 2x - 3 - 1
• 4x = 2x - 4
• 4x - 2x = 2x - 2x - 4
• 2x = -4
3) Perform the opposite operation that is holding the variable together. (2x = 2(x) so we're multiplying - we need to divide)
• 2x = -4
• 2x/2 = -4/2
• x = -2
4) Check your solution
• 4x + 1 = 2x - 3
Substitute the value of X for every x in the equation.
• 4(-2) + 1 = 2(-2) - 3
• -8 + 1 = -4 - 3
• -7 = -7

What if the number is unknown to find square root square root?
It is no tpossible to find the square root of an unknown number. You can, however, represent it as x0.5 or √x so that the value of the square root can be evaluated when the value of x is known.
If fx equals int x find the function value f71.19?
f(71.19) = 71 where int(x) is the integer value of a number
Explain why you cannot find a numerical value for the expression 4x - 5y for x equals 3?
You cannot because the expression still contains the unknown variable y.
What is the number where the number of letters is equal to value?
One, two, three, four...doesn't take long to get to it...
What is the absolute value of the sum of -7 and twice a number is 23 Find the number?
If you mean... -7+x*2=23 then x = 15. Done without the aid of a calculator ! The value of 'x' (the unknown number) MUST equal 30, because 30-7=23 - SO, half the unknown number must be 15!
