Solved example of one-variable linear equations
Factor the polynomial $4x+2$ by it's greatest common factor (GCF): $2$
Divide both sides of the equation by $2$
Simplifying the quotients
Divide $10$ by $2$
We need to isolate the dependent variable $x$, we can do that by simultaneously subtracting $1$ from both sides of the equation
Canceling terms on both sides
Add the values $5$ and $-1$
Canceling terms on both sides
