Solve 1-2x/4=1-4x/6

$$\frac{ 1-2x }{ 4 } = \frac{ 1-4x }{ 6 }$$

Solve for x

$$x=-\frac{1}{2}=-0.5$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides of the equation by 12, the least common multiple of 4,6.

$$3\left(1-2x\right)=2\left(1-4x\right)$$

Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by 1-2x.

$$3-6x=2\left(1-4x\right)$$

Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by 1-4x.

$$3-6x=2-8x$$

Add 8x to both sides.

$$3-6x+8x=2$$

Combine -6x and 8x to get 2x.

$$3+2x=2$$

Subtract 3 from both sides.

$$2x=2-3$$

Subtract 3 from 2 to get -1.

$$2x=-1$$

Divide both sides by 2.

$$x=\frac{-1}{2}$$

Fraction \frac{-1}{2} can be rewritten as -\frac{1}{2} by extracting the negative sign.

$$x=-\frac{1}{2}$$
