x+1-2\left(2x-1\right)>4
Multiply both sides of the equation by 2. Since 2 is positive, the inequality direction remains the same.
x+1-4x+2>4
Use the distributive property to multiply -2 by 2x-1.
-3x+1+2>4
Combine x and -4x to get -3x.
-3x+3>4
Add 1 and 2 to get 3.
-3x>4-3
Subtract 3 from both sides.
-3x>1
Subtract 3 from 4 to get 1.
x<-\frac{1}{3}
Divide both sides by -3. Since -3 is negative, the inequality direction is changed.
