Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x in the equation: 3(x-4)+6=5(x-1)+1

$3(x-4)+6=5(x-1)+1\\\\\text{Distribute the 3}\\\\3x - 12 + 6 =5(x-1)+1\\\\\text{Distribute the 5}\\\\3x - 12 + 6 =5x-5+1\\\\3x - 12 + 6 =5x-4\\\\3x - 6 =5x-4\\\\\text{Subtract 5x to both sides}\\\\-2x-6=-4\\\\\text{Add 6 to both sides}\\\\-2x=2\\\\\text{Divide by -2}\\\\x=-1$
