x=-2

Edsel · Answer 2

X=-6

Step-by-step explanation:

4 (1-x) + 3x=-2 (x+1)

(4) (1) + (4) (-x) + 3x = (-2) (x) + (-2) (1) (Distribute)

4+-4x+3x=-2x+-2

(-4x+3x) + (4) = -2x-2 (Combine Like Terms)

-x+4=-2x-2

-x+4=-2x-2

Step 2: Add 2x to both sides.

-x+4+2x=-2x-2+2x

x+4=-2

Step 3: Subtract 4 from both sides.

x+4-4=-2-4

x=-6

Answer:

x=-6
