What is the reason for each step in the solution of the equation? 2x−1=4(x+1) drag and drop the reasons into the boxes to correctly complete the table 2x-1=4(x+1) 2x-1=4x+4 2x=4x+5 −2x=5 x=-5/2 distributive property multiplication or division property of equality commutative property given addition or subtraction property of equality

2x-1=4(x+1) Given. This is the expression you were originally given. 2x-1=4x+4 Distributive Property You distributed the 4 in the subexpression 4(x + 1) to make 4x + 4 2x=4x+5 Addition or Subtraction Property of Equality You added 1 to both sides of the equation. â’2x=5 Addition or Subtraction Property of Equality You subtracted 4x from both sides of the equation. x=-5/2 Multiplication or Division Property of Equality You divided both sides by -2.

The answer simplified would be. -6300x
