3x-2x-1=4\left(x-1\right)+2x
To find the opposite of 2x+1, find the opposite of each term.
x-1=4\left(x-1\right)+2x
Combine 3x and -2x to get x.
x-1=4x-4+2x
Use the distributive property to multiply 4 by x-1.
x-1=6x-4
Combine 4x and 2x to get 6x.
x-1-6x=-4
Subtract 6x from both sides.
-5x-1=-4
Combine x and -6x to get -5x.
-5x=-4+1
Add 1 to both sides.
-5x=-3
Add -4 and 1 to get -3.
x=\frac{-3}{-5}
Divide both sides by -5.
x=\frac{3}{5}
Fraction \frac{-3}{-5} can be simplified to \frac{3}{5} by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.
