Question

What is the solution of 1-3x = x+3 ?

O x=-8 or x=-1
O x=-8
Ox=-1
O no solution

Answer 1

No solution

Explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

1−3x=x+3

1+−3x=x+3

−3x+1=x+3

Step 2: Subtract x from both sides.

−3x+1−x=x+3−x

−4x+1=3

Step 3: Subtract 1 from both sides.

−4x+1−1=3−1

−4x=2

Step 4: Divide both sides by -4.

that would equal -1/2
