To solve this equation, we need to simplify both sides and isolate the variable \( x \).
Given equation: \( 6 - 2x + (-x + 12) = 4 - (1 - x) \)
Simplify both sides:
\( 6 - 2x - x + 12 = 4 - 1 + x \)
\( 18 - 3x = 3 + x \)
Now, let's isolate \( x \):
Add \( 3x \) to both sides:
\( 18 = 3 + 4x \)
Subtract \( 3 \) from both sides:
\( 15 = 4x \)
Divide by \( 4 \) on both sides to solve for \( x \):
\( x = \frac{15}{4} \)
Therefore, the solution to the equation is \( x = \frac{15}{4} \) or \( x = 3.75 \).
