Answer:


\boxed{ \bold{ \huge{ \boxed{ \sf{0}}}}}

Explanation:


\sf{1 - 3x = 1 - x}

Move x to left hand side and change it's sign

Similarly, move 1 to right hand side and change it's sign


\dashrightarrow{ \sf{ - 3x + x = 1 - 1}}

Collect like terms


\dashrightarrow{ \sf{ - 2x = 0}}

Divide both sides by -2


\dashrightarrow{ \sf{ ( - 2x)/( - 2) = ( 0)/( - 2)}}

Calculate


\dashrightarrow{ \sf{ x = 0}}

Hope I helped!

Best regards! :D
