How do you solve the equation \(13 + 4x = 1 - x\)?

13+4x=1-x 4x=-12-x (minus 13 from each side) 5x=-12 (add x to each side) You divide -12 by 5x -12÷5x=2 5 2 ​ ⇒2.4 x=2.4

Simplifying 13 + 4x = 1 + -1x
Solving 13 + 4x = 1 + -1x
Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add 'x' to each side of the equation.13 + 4x + x = 1 + -1x + x
Combine like terms: 4x + x = 5x 13 + 5x = 1 + -1x + x
Combine like terms: -1x + x = 0 13 + 5x = 1 + 0 13 + 5x = 1
Add '-13' to each side of the equation. 13 + -13 + 5x = 1 + -13
Combine like terms: 13 + -13 = 0 0 + 5x = 1 + -13 5x = 1 + -13
Combine like terms: 1 + -13 = -12 5x = -12
Divide each side by '5'. x = -2.4
Simplifying x = -2.4
