I do not understand how x was split into -3x +4x

Answer provided by our tutors

Basically, you need to find two terms that when added will give you x  (-3x+4x=x)

but can produce the same factor in the two groups (first 2 terms and second 2 terms).

In this case 4x-3 is the same factor in both groups.

It takes a bit of guessing to find the right combination
