2\left(2x-1\right)=x+2-4
Multiply both sides of the equation by 4, the least common multiple of 2,4.
4x-2=x+2-4
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by 2x-1.
4x-2=x-2
Subtract 4 from 2 to get -2.
4x-2-x=-2
Subtract x from both sides.
3x-2=-2
Combine 4x and -x to get 3x.
3x=-2+2
Add 2 to both sides.
3x=0
Add -2 and 2 to get 0.
x=0
Product of two numbers is equal to 0 if at least one of them is 0. Since 3 is not equal to 0, x must be equal to 0.
