Intro

Step-by-step explanation:

hi,

-x+(-1)=3x+(-5)

<=>

-x-1=3x-5

<=>

3x+x = -1+5 = 4

<=>

4x=4

<=>

x=1

thanks

The value of x when solving the equation -x+ (-1) = 3x + (-5) is 1

Algebraic expression is a union of terms by the operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, etc

-x + (-1) = 3x + (-5)

The value of x can be found as follows:

-x + (-1) = 3x + (-5)

Let's open the parenthesis, Therefore,

-x - 1 = 3x - 5

-x - 3x = -5 + 1

-4x = -4

divide both sides by -4

-4x / -4 = -4 / -4

x = 1
