    x = - 5

    Step-by-step explanation:

    -5 (1 - 5x) + 5 (-8x - 2) = - 4x - 8x

    First lets simplify each side of the equation.

    -5+25x-40x-10 = - 4x-8x

    Combine like terms

    -15x-15=-12x

    Add 15x to both sides (addition property of equality)

    -15=3x

    Divide each side by 3 (division property of equality)

    x=-5

    The answer is x = - 5
