Question

-4(x)=-3(-x+1)-4 what is this answer

Answer 1

We need to solve the equation:

$-4\left(x\right)=-3\left(-x+1\right)-4$

We can start by expanding the products:

$\begin{gathered} -4x=-3(-x)-3(1)-4 \\ \\ -4x=3x-3-4 \\ \\ -4x=3x-7 \end{gathered}$

Now, we can apply the same operations on both sides of the equation until we isolate the variable x and find its value:

$\begin{gathered} -4x-3x=3x-7-3x \\ \\ -7x=-7 \\ \\ \frac{-7}{-7}x=\frac{-7}{-7} \\ \\ x=1 \end{gathered}$

Answer: x = 1
