-x+1+2x=3x\left(-5\right)-4\times 3x
Combine -2x and 4x to get 2x.
-x+1+2x=-15x-4\times 3x
Multiply 3 and -5 to get -15.
-x+1+2x=-15x-12x
Multiply 4 and 3 to get 12.
-x+1+2x=-27x
Combine -15x and -12x to get -27x.
-x+1+2x+27x=0
Add 27x to both sides.
-x+1+29x=0
Combine 2x and 27x to get 29x.
-x+29x=-1
Subtract 1 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
28x=-1
Combine -x and 29x to get 28x.
x=\frac{-1}{28}
Divide both sides by 28.
x=-\frac{1}{28}
Fraction \frac{-1}{28} can be rewritten as -\frac{1}{28} by extracting the negative sign.
