$2 x - 3$ $2x-3$

$f (x) = 4 x - 3 - (x + 1) + (1 - x)$ $f(x) = 4x -3-(x+1)+(1-x)$

Remove the brackets
$f (x) = 4 x - 3 - x - 1 + 1 - x$ $f(x) = 4x-3-x-1+1-x$

Bring together terms in $x$ $x$ and constants
$f (x) = 4 x - x - x - 3 - 1 + 1$ $f(x) = 4x-x-x -3-1+1$

Sum terms in $x$ $x$ and constants
$f (x) = 2 x - 3$ $f(x) = 2x-3$
