-2x-\left(-1\right)\leq 2\left(2x+1\right)
To find the opposite of 2x-1, find the opposite of each term.
-2x+1\leq 2\left(2x+1\right)
The opposite of -1 is 1.
-2x+1\leq 4x+2
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by 2x+1.
-2x+1-4x\leq 2
Subtract 4x from both sides.
-6x+1\leq 2
Combine -2x and -4x to get -6x.
-6x\leq 2-1
Subtract 1 from both sides.
-6x\leq 1
Subtract 1 from 2 to get 1.
x\geq -\frac{1}{6}
Divide both sides by -6. Since -6 is negative, the inequality direction is changed.
