Question

$$4284-(x-378)=1000$$

Answer

x=3662

Solution


Remove parentheses.
\[4284-x+378=1000\]
Simplify  \(4284-x+378\)  to  \(4662-x\).
\[4662-x=1000\]
Subtract \(4662\) from both sides.
\[-x=1000-4662\]
Simplify  \(1000-4662\)  to  \(-3662\).
\[-x=-3662\]
Multiply both sides by \(-1\).
\[x=3662\]
