Hello!

5=-x - 4

Here we just add 4 to both sides to get:

9=-x

Here divide both sides by -1

-9=x

Hope this helps!

Sincerely,

If 5 = -x-4

Add 4 to both sides, giving

9 = -x

Hence x = -9

==> solution is x = -9

x = -9

tip: any digit or letter that goes to the other side of equal sign changes it signs from +ve to -ve and vice versa

therefore,

x = -9
