Given:

The equation is:

`4x+1+x+3=-11`

To find:

The solution for the given equation.

Solution:

We have,

`4x+1+x+3=-11`

The solution of the given equation with reasons is shown below:

Statement Reason

(1)
`4x+x+1+3=-11` (1) Commutative property of addition

(2)
`(4+1)x+4=-11` (2) Distributive property of multiplication under

`5x+4=-11` addition

(3)
`5x+4-4=-11-4` (3) Subtraction property of equality

`5x=-15`

(4)
`(1)/(5)\cdot 5x=(1)/(5)\cdot (-15)` (4) Multiplication property of equality

`x=-3`

Therefore, the solution for the given equation is
`x=-3`.
