EAST 7 GRADE MATH PROBLEM!!!

Solve for x:
-x+1=5

Subtract 1 from both sides to get:

-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

Grade 5 answer: 4(4+1=5)

x= negative 4

x=-4

-x + 1 = 5
-x = 4
x = -4

.....learn simple algebra ......
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)....]
