Question

What is the correct solution to the equation 1 – (2x + 4) = –4x + 5?

Answer 1

`\\ \sf\longmapsto 1-(2x+4)=-4x+5`

`\\ \sf\longmapsto 1-2x-4=-4x+5`

`\\ \sf\longmapsto -2x-3=-4x+5`

`\\ \sf\longmapsto -2x+4x=5+3`

`\\ \sf\longmapsto 2x=8`

`\\ \sf\longmapsto x=(8)/(2)`

`\\ \sf\longmapsto x=4`

Answer 2

Answer: X=4

Explanation:

`\Large \boldsymbol {} \sf 1-(2x+4)=-4x+5 \\\\1-2x-4=-4x+5 \\\\4x-2x=5+3 \\\\2x=8 \\\\\boxed{\sf x=4}`
