Answer: Rearrange:
Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :
4*x+2*x+1-(2*x-x+21)=0
Step by step solution :

Equations which are never true:
2.1 Solve : 5 = 0
This equation has no solution.
A a non-zero constant never equals zero.
Solving a Single Variable Equation:
2.2 Solve : x-4 = 0
Add 4 to both sides of the equation :
x = 4
One solution was found :
x = 4
