Let's solve the equation step by step:
Given:
\[ 4x6 - 3(x + 1) = -5 - 2(x - 3) - 1 \]
First, let's simplify both sides:
On the left side:
\[ 4x6 \] seems to be a mistake. Likely, it should be \( 4x \cdot 6 \) or \( 4 \cdot 6 \), or it might simply be an algebraic variable. Let's try assuming it means \( 4x \cdot 6 = 24x \): So, it becomes:
\[ 24x - 3(x + 1) \]
Now expand the left side:
\[ 24x - 3x - 3 \]
On the right side:
First, simplify inside the parentheses:
\[ -5 - 2(x - 3) - 1 = -5 - 2x + 6 - 1 = -2 - 2x \]
Now, let's rewrite the entire equation:
\[ 24x - 3x - 3 = -2 - 2x \]
Combine like terms on the left side:
\[ (24x - 3x) - 3 = -2 - 2x \]
This simplifies to:
\[ 21x - 3 = -2 - 2x \]
Add \( 2x \) to both sides:
\[ 21x + 2x - 3 = -2 \]
This simplifies to:
\[ 23x - 3 = -2 \]
Now, add 3 to both sides:
\[ 23x = -2 + 3 \]
This gives us:
\[ 23x = 1 \]
Now, divide by 23:
\[ x = \frac{1}{23} \]
So, the solution to the equation is:
\[ x = \frac{1}{23} \]
