Answer 2

Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

First we know that you have to do parenthesis because, of PEDAS so the problem would look like 4x - (x-5)+3=-1. You would first because, it is always 1 outside of parenthesis it would now look like 4x - x +5 +3=-1. Next you would combine like term 3x +8 = -1. Next you would subtract 8 from both sides 3x = 9. Next you would divide 3 from both sides. x=3

Therefore your answer would be x = 3
