    Step-by-step explanation:

    The negative in front of the parenthesis changes the signs of the numbers and variables inside the parenthesis. We can rewrite as

    4 - x - 1 = 6 and

    3 - x = 6 so

    - x = 3 and

    x = - 3

    The answer to your question is x = - 3

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Equation 4 - (x + 1) = 6

    - Subtract 4 in both sides

    4 - (x + 1) - 4 = 6 - 4

    - Simplify

    - (x + 1) = 2

    - Remove parentheses

    - x - 1 = 2

    -Add 1 to both sides

    -x - 1 + 1 = 2 + 1

    - Simplify

    - x = 3

    -Divide both sides by - 1

    - x / - 1 = 3 / - 1

    - Simplify

    x = - 3
