5x-1=4x-3x-1
To find the opposite of 3x+1, find the opposite of each term.
5x-1=x-1
Combine 4x and -3x to get x.
5x-1-x=-1
Subtract x from both sides.
4x-1=-1
Combine 5x and -x to get 4x.
4x=-1+1
Add 1 to both sides.
4x=0
Add -1 and 1 to get 0.
x=0
Product of two numbers is equal to 0 if at least one of them is 0. Since 4 is not equal to 0, x must be equal to 0.
