    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
