Steps:

1. Get the X’s on the left side by subtracting 3x from 4x.

Now the equation is X+1=-5

2. Now get the numbers on the right side by subtracting the 1 from the -5

Now the equation is X=-6

X=-6

that’s easy. first you need to put all x’s on one side of the equation and all the whole numbers on the other side.

4x + 1 = 3x – 5 , becomes 4x – 3x = – 5 – 1

3x becomes negative when you move it to the other side of the equation, so does 1. then subtract: 4x – 3x becomes x. because 5 and 1 are both negative, you add them and keep the negative sign.

x = – 6

hope this helps, good luck =>

you have to put the x’s on one side and the constants (numbers) on the other side…

4x+1=3x-5

4x-3x= -5-1

x= -6

First add -3x to both sides getting 1x + 1 = -5. Then add -1 to both sides getting 1x = -6.

4x+1-1=3x+ negative 5 +negative 1

4x= 3x + negative 6

4x+negative 3x = negative 6

1x=negative 6

x = -6

4x + 1 = 3x -5

4x = 3x – 6

x = -6

the equation can be written

4(x)+1=3(x)+-5

you can take 3x away from each side because you can do the same thing to each side and it is still equal so you have:

x+1=-5

then-5 plus one equals -4 so:

x=-4
