Question 845801
{{{4-2(3x-4)=1-(5x+4)}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{4-6x+8=1-5x-4}}} Distribute.



{{{12-6x=1-5x-4}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{12-6x=-5x-3}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{-6x=-5x-3-12}}} Subtract {{{12}}} from both sides.



{{{-6x+5x=-3-12}}} Add {{{5x}}} to both sides.



{{{-x=-3-12}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{-x=-15}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=(-15)/(-1)}}} Divide both sides by {{{-1}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=15}}} Reduce.

Answer:


So the solution is {{{x=15}}}
