2x+1-2x=4x-1
Variable x cannot be equal to \frac{1}{4} since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 4x-1.
1=4x-1
Combine 2x and -2x to get 0.
4x-1=1
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
4x=1+1
Add 1 to both sides.
4x=2
Add 1 and 1 to get 2.
x=\frac{2}{4}
Divide both sides by 4.
x=\frac{1}{2}
Reduce the fraction \frac{2}{4} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.
