Answer:

1/2 or 0.500

Explanation:

Step by step solution :

Step 1 :

Pulling out like terms :

1.1 Pull out like factors :

-4x + 2 = -2 • (2x - 1)

Equation at the end of step 1 :

Step 2 :

Equations which are never true :

2.1 Solve : -2 = 0

This equation has no solution.

A a non-zero constant never equals zero.

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

2.2 Solve : 2x-1 = 0

Add 1 to both sides of the equation :

2x = 1

Divide both sides of the equation by 2:

x = 1/2 = 0.500

One solution was found :

x = 1/2 = 0.500
