whats the solution

4x - 4= -x - 1

1 answer

To solve for x, we need to move all terms involving x to one side of the equation and all constant terms to the other side.

First, add x to both sides:
4x + x - 4 = -1

Combine like terms:
5x - 4 = -1

Next, add 4 to both sides to isolate the x term:
5x = 3

Finally, divide by 5 to solve for x:
x = 3/5

Therefore, the solution is x = 3/5.
