Answer:

[tex]x=-\frac{3}{5}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]-4(x+1)-3=(x-4) \\ \\ -4x-4-3=x-4 \\ \\ -4x-7=x-4 \\ \\ -7=5x-4 \\ \\ 5x=-3 \\ \\ x=-\frac{3}{5}[/tex]

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

  1. Distribute
  • - 4x - 4 - 3 = (x - 4)

    2. Take away the parenthesis at the end

  • - 4x - 4 - 3 = x - 4

    3. Combine like terms

  • - 4x - 7 = x - 4

    4.  Add 4x to each side

  • -7 = -3x - 4

    5. Add 4 to each side

  • -3 = -3x

    6.  Divide

  • -3 / -3 = -3x / -3
  • x = 1
