Solve for x:
-x+1=5
-x+1=5
-
Subtract 1 from both sides to get:
-x = 4
Multiply both sides by -1 to get:
x = -4
-x = 4
Multiply both sides by -1 to get:
x = -4
-
To solve for x, you need to isolate it:
- x+1= 5 (take the 1 to the other side)
- x = 5 - 1
- x = 4 (divide both sides by -1)
- x/-1 = 4/-1
x= - 4
- x+1= 5 (take the 1 to the other side)
- x = 5 - 1
- x = 4 (divide both sides by -1)
- x/-1 = 4/-1
x= - 4

Grade 5 answer: 4(4+1=5)
-
x= negative 4
-
x=-4
-
-x + 1 = 5
-x = 4
x = -4
-x = 4
x = -4

Let me break it down for you
-x + 1 = 5 [this is the problem]
-x = 4 [subtract 1 from both sides]
x = -4 [this is the answer and the way you get it is by dividing by -x..(that means -1)....]
