Since x contains the variable to solve for, move it to the left side of the equation by subtracting x from both sides.2m−nx−x=4
Since 2m does not contain the variable to solve for, move it to the right side of the equation by subtracting 2m from both sides.nx-x=-2m+4Factor x out of −nx−xx(−n−1)=−2m+4Divide each term by −n−1-n-1 and simplify.x=2(m−2)/n+1
