Answer:
x = -1
Explanation:
Isolate the variable (x). Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.
PEMDAS = Parenthesis, Exponents (& roots), Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction.
First, subtract 5 from both sides
5x + 5 = 0
5x + 5 (-5) = 0 (-5)
5x = 0 - 5
5x = -5
Next, divide 5 from both sides
(5x)/5 = (-5)/5
x = -5/5
x = -1
-1 is your answer for x.
