Question

Select steps that could be used to solve the equation 1 + 3x = -x + 4.
add x, subtract 1, divide by 4
add x, subtract 4, divide by 4
subtract 3x, subtract 4, divide by 4
subtract 3x, subtract 4, divide by -4
subtract 1, add x, divide by 4

Answer 1

lets just solve it
\[1 + 3x = -x + 4.\] add \(x\) to both sides to get
\[1+4x=4\] subtract 1 to get
\[4x=3\] divide by 4 to get
\[x=\frac{3}{4}\]

Answer 2

actually there are a few right answers there, not just the one i used

Answer 3

\[1 + 3x = -x + 4\] subtract \(3x\)
\[1=-4x+4\] subtract 4
\[-3=-4x\] divide by \(-4\)
\[\frac{3}{4}=x\]

Answer 4

you could also
subtract 1, add x, divide by 4
