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 plus something equals 300?

To find what plus something equals 300, you can represent it mathematically as ( x + y = 300 ), where ( x ) is the known value and ( y ) is the unknown value. For example, if ( x ) is 150, then ( y ) would be 150, since ( 150 + 150 = 300 ). You can replace ( x ) with any number less than 300 to find the corresponding ( y ).


80 percent of what number equals 40?

To find the number, you would set up the equation 0.80x = 40, where x represents the unknown number. To solve for x, you would divide both sides by 0.80 to isolate x, giving you x = 40 / 0.80. Therefore, the number is 50.
