1. Problem Description

We are given a linear equation and asked to solve for xx. The equation is:
43(5x6)=4(x1)+6-4 - 3(5x - 6) = -4(-x - 1) + 6

2. Solution Steps

First, we distribute the 3-3 on the left side of the equation and the 4-4 on the right side:
43(5x6)=4(x1)+6-4 - 3(5x - 6) = -4(-x - 1) + 6
415x+18=4x+4+6-4 - 15x + 18 = 4x + 4 + 6
Next, we combine like terms on both sides of the equation:
15x+14=4x+10-15x + 14 = 4x + 10
Now, we isolate the xx terms by adding 15x15x to both sides:
15x+14+15x=4x+10+15x-15x + 14 + 15x = 4x + 10 + 15x
14=19x+1014 = 19x + 10
Subtract 10 from both sides:
1410=19x+101014 - 10 = 19x + 10 - 10
4=19x4 = 19x
Finally, we divide both sides by 1919 to solve for xx:
419=19x19\frac{4}{19} = \frac{19x}{19}
x=419x = \frac{4}{19}

3. Final Answer

x=419x = \frac{4}{19}
