Restate the question: Simplify: (x-3) + 4x

(x-3) + 4x = x - 3 + 4x

= x + 4x -3

= 5x -3

=======

Answer 1:

x - 3 + 4x

That expression is not an equation. It's just a number. The number depends

on what the value of 'x' happens to be at the moment, and if 'x' changes, then

(x - 3 + 4x) immediately changes. Without an equation, there's no "solution".

Your expression would be an equation if there were an 'equals' sign ( = )

anywhere in it.
