x-\left(x-\left(-1\right)\right)=1-\left(2-\left(3-4-x\right)\right)
Combine x and -x to get 0.
x-\left(x+1\right)=1-\left(2-\left(3-4-x\right)\right)
The opposite of -1 is 1.
x-x-1=1-\left(2-\left(3-4-x\right)\right)
To find the opposite of x+1, find the opposite of each term.
-1=1-\left(2-\left(3-4-x\right)\right)
Combine x and -x to get 0.
-1=1-\left(2-\left(-1-x\right)\right)
Subtract 4 from 3 to get -1.
-1=1-\left(2-\left(-1\right)-\left(-x\right)\right)
To find the opposite of -1-x, find the opposite of each term.
-1=1-\left(2+1-\left(-x\right)\right)
The opposite of -1 is 1.
-1=1-\left(2+1+x\right)
The opposite of -x is x.
-1=1-\left(3+x\right)
Add 2 and 1 to get 3.
-1=1-3-x
To find the opposite of 3+x, find the opposite of each term.
-1=-2-x
Subtract 3 from 1 to get -2.
-2-x=-1
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
-x=-1+2
Add 2 to both sides.
-x=1
Add -1 and 2 to get 1.
x=-1
Multiply both sides by -1.
