x=5
Evaluate
3x−(4x−x)=5−x
Simplify
More Steps

Evaluate
3x−(4x−x)
Subtract the terms
More Steps

Simplify
4x−x
Collect like terms by calculating the sum or difference of their coefficients
(4−1)x
Subtract the numbers
3x
3x−3x
Subtract the terms
0
0=5−x
Swap the sides of the equation
5−x=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
−x=0−5
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−x=−5
Solution
x=5
