2x+1-4x=-z
Subtract 4x from both sides.
-2x+1=-z
Combine 2x and -4x to get -2x.
-2x=-z-1
Subtract 1 from both sides.
\frac{-2x}{-2}=\frac{-z-1}{-2}
Divide both sides by -2.
x=\frac{-z-1}{-2}
Dividing by -2 undoes the multiplication by -2.
x=\frac{z+1}{2}
Divide -z-1 by -2.
4x-z=2x+1
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
-z=2x+1-4x
Subtract 4x from both sides.
-z=-2x+1
Combine 2x and -4x to get -2x.
-z=1-2x
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{-z}{-1}=\frac{1-2x}{-1}
Divide both sides by -1.
z=\frac{1-2x}{-1}
Dividing by -1 undoes the multiplication by -1.
z=2x-1
Divide -2x+1 by -1.
