I forgot to say this is a portfolio
too bad you didn't show your work ...
2 + 3(x + 2x) = −2x(2 − 4) + 1
2 + 3(3x) = -2x(-2) + 1
2 + 9x = 4x + 1
5x = -1
x = -1/5

Next time, show what you did, instead of just guessing and groping for an answer.

Not that a portfolio has anything to do with solving a problem...
thank you i will show work next time
