\left(2x-1\right)x^{3}-x^{3}\left(2x-1\right)=50-x
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.
2x^{4}-x^{3}-x^{3}\left(2x-1\right)=50-x
Use the distributive property to multiply 2x-1 by x^{3}.
2x^{4}-x^{3}-2x^{4}+x^{3}=50-x
Use the distributive property to multiply -x^{3} by 2x-1.
-x^{3}+x^{3}=50-x
Combine 2x^{4} and -2x^{4} to get 0.
0=50-x
Combine -x^{3} and x^{3} to get 0.
50-x=0
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
-x=-50
Subtract 50 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
x=50
Multiply both sides by -1.
