How to work out - 31-4x=-5-5 (1+5x)

Answer: x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

-31-4x=-5-5 (1+5x)

-31+-4x=-5 + (-5) (1) + (-5) (5x) (Distribute)

-31+-4x=-5+-5+-25x

-4x-31 = (-25x) + (-5+-5) (Combine Like Terms)

-4x-31=-25x+-10

-4x-31=-25x-10

Step 2: Add 25x to both sides.

-4x-31+25x=-25x-10+25x

21x-31=-10

Step 3: Add 31 to both sides.

21x-31+31=-10+31

21x=21

Step 4: Divide both sides by 21.

21x/21 divided by 21/21

Get x = 1

x=1

Step-by-step explanation:

*I underlined everything we are working with at that moment

- 31 - 4x = - 5 - 5 (1+5x)

-5 (1+5x) = 5-25x

-31-4x=-5-5-25x

-31=-10-21x

-21=-21x

x=1
