Question

-4=x-1 and downside of x-1 is 3 plz tell me the correct answer

Answer 1

$\boxed{\underline{Hey\: mate!}}$

$\textbf{\underline{Question}}$ :-

$- 4 = \frac{x - 1}{3}$

$\textbf{\underline{Solution}}$ = $\sf{ - 11 }$

$\textbf{\underline{Explanation}}$ :-

Since , 3 is dividing, so if we will take it to other side , it will multiply !

=> $\bf{ - 4 \times 3 }$ = $\bf{ x - 1}$

=> $\bf{ - 12 }$ = $\bf{ x - 1}$

Now , take 1 to other side, as it's negative so taking other side it will become positive!

=> $\bf{ - 12 + 1 }$ = $\bf{ x }$

we know that, plus and minus results in minus ! so , 12 - 1 = 11 , 12 is greater and it's sign is negative so we will write the answer in negative form , i.e., -11.

=> $\bf{ - 11}$ = $\bf{ x }$

Answer 2

Here's the answer

According to your question,

The Equation formed is as follows :-

$\sf{ - 4 = \frac{x - 1}{3}}$

Taking the denominator 3 on L. H. S,

$\sf{ - 4 \times 3 = x - 1}$

$\sf {- 12 = x - 1}$


Now,

Taking -1 to L. H. S ,

$\sf{ - 12 + 1 = x}$

$\sf{- 11 = x}$


Thus,
We got the value of x as -11


Thus,

Final answer =>

Value of x is -11.

Thanks!!
