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

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

Solve for x

$$x=6$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Use the distributive property to multiply -3 by x+1.

$$x-3x-3=5-4\left(x-1\right)$$

Combine x and -3x to get -2x.

$$-2x-3=5-4\left(x-1\right)$$

Use the distributive property to multiply -4 by x-1.

$$-2x-3=5-4x+4$$

Add 5 and 4 to get 9.

$$-2x-3=9-4x$$

Add 4x to both sides.

$$-2x-3+4x=9$$

Combine -2x and 4x to get 2x.

$$2x-3=9$$

Add 3 to both sides.

$$2x=9+3$$

Add 9 and 3 to get 12.

$$2x=12$$

Divide both sides by 2.

$$x=\frac{12}{2}$$

Divide 12 by 2 to get 6.

$$x=6$$
