Answer:

x = 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify 1 times x times 1 to x.

4 − x = 1.

Subtract 44 from both sides.

− x = 1 − 4.

Simplify 1 - 41 − 4 to -3 − 3.

− x = − 3.

Multiply both sides by -1 − 1.

x = 3.

Have a nice day Sir/Ma'am.

Answer: 3 or -3

Explanation:

4 - |x| = 1

First subtract 4

-|x| = -3

The | | sign makes it both positive and negative

So -|3| and -|-3| will = -3
