Question

Solve the equation, 4 - (x + 1) = 6. x = -9 x = 3 x = -3 x = 9

Answer 1

Answer:

x = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

$4-(x+1) =6$

Distribute the negative

$4 - x - 1 = 6$

Combine like terms on Left Hand Side

$- x + 3 = 6$

Substract 3 from both sides

$-x = 3$

Divide both sides by -1 to get rid of the negative

∴ $x = - 3$
