Answer 1

To solve the equation \( 2x - 1 = 4x + 3 \), follow these steps:

1. Rearrange the equation to get all terms involving \( x \) on one side and constant terms on the other side. \[ 2x - 4x = 3 + 1 \]

2. Combine like terms: \[ -2x = 4 \]

3. Divide both sides by -2: \[ x = -2 \]

So, the solution to the equation \( 2x - 1 = 4x + 3 \) is \( x = -2 \).

The correct response is: -2
