Ok the equation 2+4x-1=0. To start off with this multi step equation you would first add one to both sides of the equation and it would be 2+4x=1 ok. Second step, you would subtract 2 from both sides just like you added the one but in inverse operation, in which 1-2 equals negative one. Then after that divide 4 on both sides of the equation to get the x alone and your final answer should be 1/2.
