Answer: [tex]x=\frac{1}{5}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Remove the parenthesis:

[tex]-(4x+1)=3(2x-1)[/tex]

[tex]-4x-1=(2x-1)[/tex]

Move the terms:

[tex]-4x-1=6x-3[/tex]

[tex]-4x-6x-1=-3[/tex]

Collect like terms:

[tex]-4x-6x=-3+1[/tex]

[tex]-10x=-3+1[/tex]

Divide both sides:

[tex]-10x=-2[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{1}{5}[/tex]
