O
0
x= -8 or x = -1
x= -8
x= -1
no solution

Answer 1

x= -1/2

Explanation:

To solve, we want the variables on one side of the equation, and the numbers on the other

1-3x=x+3

Add 3x on both sides

1=4x+3

Subtract 3 from both sides

-2=4x

Divide by 4 on both sides

x= -1/2

Hope this helps! :)

Answer 2

x = -1/2

Explanation:

1-3x = x+3

Add 3x to each side

1-3x+3x = x+3x+3

1 = 4x+3

Subtract 3 from each side

1-3 = 4x+3-3

-2 = 4x

Divide each side by 4

-2/4 = 4x/4

-1/2 =x
