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

We're simply just trying to get "x" by itself :)

So, we have to add 2x to both sides.

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

Add like terms.

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

Simplify.

4x - 3 = -3

Then, we must add 3 to both sides.

4x = -3 + 3

Simplify.

4x = 0

Divide both sides by 4.

x = 0 ÷ 4

Simplify.

x = 0

~Hope I helped!~
