Answer 1

Answer:

The solution for the given expression x ix 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

$4x + 1 = 5x + (-5)$

Solution:

Step 1: Adding (-4x) on both sides

$4x + 1 +(-4)= 5x + (-5)+(-4x)$

$1=-5+1x$

Step 2: Adding (5) on both sides:

$1+5=-5+1x+5$

$6=x$

The solution for the given expression x ix 6.
