Answer:

x = -7

Explanation:

Use the distibutive property on both side:

Right side:

4 ( 1 - x )

( 4 x 1 ) + 4 x -X )

4 - 4x

Left side:

-3 ( x + 1 )

( -3 x X ) + ( -3 x 1 )

-3x -3

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

Combine like terms:

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

-2x + 4 = -3x - 3

Add 3 to each side:

-2x + 7 = -3x

add 2x to each side:

7 = -x

Divide each side by -1:

-7 = x
