Question
$$\frac{4}{2}\cdot(3-1)+1 = 0$$
Answer
This equation has no solution.
Explanation
$$ \begin{aligned} \frac{4}{2}\cdot(3-1)+1 &= 0&& \text{multiply ALL terms by } \color{blue}{ 2 }. \\[1 em]2 \cdot \frac{4}{2}\cdot(3-1)+2\cdot1 &= 2\cdot0&& \text{cancel out the denominators} \\[1 em]8+2 &= 0&& \text{simplify left side} \\[1 em]10 &= 0&& \\[1 em] \end{aligned} $$
Since the statement $ \color{red}{ 10 = 0 } $ is FALSE, we conclude that the equation has no solution.
