Answer:
x=1
Step-by-step explanation:
-31 - 4x= -5 - 5 (1+5x)
-31-4x=-5-5-25x
Separate the different variables and solve.
-31+5+5=4x-25x
-31+10=-21x
-21=-21x
Step 1- Distribute -5 into (1+5x), which gives you the equation
Step 2- -31-4x=-10-25x
+4x +4x
Step 3- -31=-10-21x
+10 +10
Step 4- -21/-21=-21x
Conclusion- x=1
