4x + 1 = 2x - 2

Subtract 2x from each side: 2x + 1 = -2

Subtract 1 from each side: 2x = -3

Divide each side by 2: x = -1.5

Alternatively 4x + 1 = 2 - 2x which simplifies to 6x = 1, making x = 1/6.

What is The difference between five times a number and twice that number?

The difference between five times a number and twice that number can be expressed mathematically. If we let the number be represented by ( x ), then five times the number is ( 5x ) and twice that number is ( 2x ). The difference is calculated as ( 5x - 2x ), which simplifies to ( 3x ). Thus, the difference is three times the original number.
