Answer

$x=\dfrac{2n-1}{2}$

Work Step by Step

Multiply $2$ to both sides of the equation: $\begin{align*} 2(n)&=\frac{2x+1}{2} \cdot 2\\ 2n&=2x+1\\ \end{align*}$ Subtract $1$ from each side of the equation: $\begin{align*} 2n-1&=2x+1-1\\ 2n-1&=2x \end{align*}$ Divide $2$ to both sides: $\begin{align*} \frac{2n-1}{2}&=\frac{2x}{2}\\ \frac{2n-1}{2}&=x\end{align*}$
