Hey!
~Set up the equation: - 5 (x-1) = 40
~ Divide 5 on both sides: 40/-5
~ Simplify: x-1=-8
~ We want to get x by itself, so subtract + 1 to both sides.
~ Simplify: x = - 7
~ Therefore, x = - 7.

x = - 7
Step-by-step explanation:
-5 (x - 1) = 40
-5x + 5 = 40
- 5x = 40 - 5
- 5x = 35 | x (-)
5x = - 35
x = - 35 : 5
x = - 7
