4x-\left(x+1\right)=x+1+4
Multiply both sides of the equation by 2.
4x-x-1=x+1+4
To find the opposite of x+1, find the opposite of each term.
3x-1=x+1+4
Combine 4x and -x to get 3x.
3x-1=x+5
Add 1 and 4 to get 5.
3x-1-x=5
Subtract x from both sides.
2x-1=5
Combine 3x and -x to get 2x.
2x=5+1
Add 1 to both sides.
2x=6
Add 5 and 1 to get 6.
x=\frac{6}{2}
Divide both sides by 2.
x=3
Divide 6 by 2 to get 3.
