x-3x-\left(-4\right)=5x+4x+1
To find the opposite of 3x-4, find the opposite of each term.
x-3x+4=5x+4x+1
The opposite of -4 is 4.
-2x+4=5x+4x+1
Combine x and -3x to get -2x.
-2x+4=9x+1
Combine 5x and 4x to get 9x.
-2x+4-9x=1
Subtract 9x from both sides.
-11x+4=1
Combine -2x and -9x to get -11x.
-11x=1-4
Subtract 4 from both sides.
-11x=-3
Subtract 4 from 1 to get -3.
x=\frac{-3}{-11}
Divide both sides by -11.
x=\frac{3}{11}
Fraction \frac{-3}{-11} can be simplified to \frac{3}{11} by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.
