x + 1 = -x + (-5)
2x + 1 = -5
2x = -6
x = -3
Answer: The value of x is -3
Step-by-step explanation: We want to solve the equation x+1=-x+(-5)
the first thing we want to do is isolate x, for doing this we may add x in both sides of the eqution, to remove the x therm in the right side:
x+1 +x =-x+(-5) + x
2x + 1 = - 5
now we can subtract 1 in both sides, to remove the 1 in the left side.
2x + 1 - 1 = -5 - 1
2x = - 6
now we can divide both sides by 2, with the objective of remove the factor 2 in the left side
2x/2 = -6/2
Answer:
2/4-1/3= 6/12-4/12
=2/12
=1/6
The equivalent expression is 4x + 3
