Answer:

X = 5

Explanation:

This is an example of a basic algebraic equation! The explanation is below


(x-4)=1\\x-4=1\\x-4+4=1+4\\x=5

Above, we simply removed the parenthesis, added four to both sides in order to cancel out "-4", and ended up with 5 = x. We know we are correct because 5 minus 4, really does equal one!
