\left(2x-1\right)\times 2+x=\left(2x+1\right)\times 7
Variable x cannot be equal to any of the values -\frac{1}{2},\frac{1}{2} since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by \left(2x-1\right)\left(2x+1\right), the least common multiple of 2x+1,4x^{2}-1,2x-1.
4x-2+x=\left(2x+1\right)\times 7
Use the distributive property to multiply 2x-1 by 2.
5x-2=\left(2x+1\right)\times 7
Combine 4x and x to get 5x.
5x-2=14x+7
Use the distributive property to multiply 2x+1 by 7.
5x-2-14x=7
Subtract 14x from both sides.
-9x-2=7
Combine 5x and -14x to get -9x.
-9x=7+2
Add 2 to both sides.
-9x=9
Add 7 and 2 to get 9.
x=\frac{9}{-9}
Divide both sides by -9.
x=-1
Divide 9 by -9 to get -1.
