SOLUTION:

Step 1:

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

Step 2:

Let us clear the bracket;

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

Step 3:

we now re-arrange the equation;

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

x + 7 = 0

Step 4:

Subtracting "7" from both sides;

x + 7 - 7 = 0 - 7

x = -7

CONCLUSION:

The value of x in 3(x + 1) - 2x + 4 = -4 + 4(x + 1) - 4x
