Q. Solve for x \mathrm{x} .\newline5(−x−4)+x+3=−45 5(-x-4)+x+3=-45 \newlineAnswer:
  1. Distribute and Simplify: First, distribute the 55 into the parentheses.5(−x−4)+x+3=−455(-x - 4) + x + 3 = -45−5x−20+x+3=−45-5x - 20 + x + 3 = -45
  2. Combine Like Terms: Combine like terms on the left side of the equation.\newline(−5x+x)−20+3=−45(-5x + x) - 20 + 3 = -45\newline−4x−17=−45-4x - 17 = -45
  3. Isolate Variable Term: Add 1717 to both sides to isolate the term with the variable xx.\newline−4x−17+17=−45+17-4x - 17 + 17 = -45 + 17\newline−4x=−28-4x = -28
  4. Solve for x: Divide both sides by −4-4 to solve for x.\newline−4x/−4=−28/−4-4x / -4 = -28 / -4\newlinex=7x = 7
