x+2=2\left(2x-1\right)
Variable x cannot be equal to \frac{1}{2} since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 2x-1, the least common multiple of 2x-1,1-2x.
x+2=4x-2
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by 2x-1.
x+2-4x=-2
Subtract 4x from both sides.
-3x+2=-2
Combine x and -4x to get -3x.
-3x=-2-2
Subtract 2 from both sides.
-3x=-4
Subtract 2 from -2 to get -4.
x=\frac{-4}{-3}
Divide both sides by -3.
x=\frac{4}{3}
Fraction \frac{-4}{-3} can be simplified to \frac{4}{3} by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.
