-4x + 5 = 1 - 3x //Add 3x to each side of the equation
-4x + 5 + 3x = 1 - 3x + 3x //Simplify by combining like terms
-x + 5 = 1 //Subtract 5 from each side of the equation
-x + 5 - 5 = 1 - 5 //Simplify by combining like terms
-x = -4 //Multiply each side by -1
x = 4 //the Answer!
It never hurts to verify your solution by substituting your answer back into the original expression. Substituting x=4 gives us:
-4*(4) + 5 = 1 - 3*(4)
-16 + 5 = 1 - 12
-11 = -11
