Answer:
x=4
Step-by-step explanation:
Add 99 to both sides.
-4(x+5)=-45+9−4(x+5)=−45+9
Simplify -45+9−45+9 to -36−36.
-4(x+5)=-36−4(x+5)=−36
Divide both sides by -4−4.
x+5=\frac{-36}{-4}x+5=
−4
−36
Two negatives make a positive.
x+5=\frac{36}{4}x+5=
4
36
Simplify \frac{36}{4}
4
36
to 99.
x+5=9x+5=9
Subtract 55 from both sides.
x=9-5x=9−5
Simplify 9-59−5 to 44.
x=4

♡ The Explanation/Step-By-Step ♡
- -4 (x + 5) - 9 = -45
Add 9 to both sides! This makes:
-4 (x + 5) - 9 + 9 = -45 + 9
Simplify!
-4(x + 5) = -36
Divide both sides by -4! This makes:
-4(x + 5) over -4 = -36/-4
Simplify!
x + 5 = 9
Subtract 5 from both sides! This makes:
x + 5 - 5 = 9 - 5
Simplify
x = 4
If x = 4..
-4 (4 + 5) - 9 = -45
-4(4 + 5) - 9
4(4 + 5) = 36
= -36 -9
Subtract the numbers: -36 -9 = -45!
= -45
