The solution

You have entered [src]
-(x - 4) = 2*(x + 1)
$$- (x - 4) = 2 \left(x + 1\right)$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
-1*(x-4) = 2*(x+1)

Expand brackets in the left part
-1*x+1*4 = 2*(x+1)

Expand brackets in the right part
-1*x+1*4 = 2*x+2*1

Move free summands (without x)
from left part to right part, we given:
$$- x = 2 x - 2$$
Move the summands with the unknown x
from the right part to the left part:
$$\left(-3\right) x = -2$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -3
x = -2 / (-3)

We get the answer: x = 2/3
