    Step-by-step explanation:

    Factor - 1 out of x.

    -1 (-x) - 5 / 5 - x

    Rewrite - 5 as - 1 (5)

    -1 (-x) - 1 (5) / 5 - x

    Factor - 1 out of - 1 (-x) - 1 (5).

    -1 (-x + 5) / 5 - x

    Reorder terms.

    -1 (-x + 5) / - x + 5

    Cancel the common factor.

    Divide - 1 by 1
