Answer:

[tex]x=0[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Evaluate all the arithmetic first, and then remember absolute value equations have two possible ways to go (+ and -).

You can see how I split them on the 3rd line, later demonstrating how the 2nd one is invalid.

[tex]|3-x|-x+1=4\\\\|3-x|-x=3\\\\3-x-x=3\\-(3-x)-x=3\\\\3-2x=3\\-3+x-x=3\\\\-2x=0\\-3\neq 3\\\\x=0\\-3\neq 3\\[/tex]

Therefore, the solution is [tex]x=0[/tex]
