If x is a solution of the equation 2 x + 1 -   2 x - 1 = 1 ,   x ≥ 1 2 , then 4 x 2 - 1 is…

If x is a solution of the equation 2x+1- 2x-1=1, x12 , then 4x2-1  is equal to :
  1. 34
  2. 12
  3. 22
  4. 2

Solution

2x+1- 2x-1=1    ...1

2x+1+2x-1-24x2-1=1

 4x-1=24x2-1

 16x2-8x+1=16x2-4

8x=5

 x=58 which satisfies equation 1.

So, 4x2-1=34
