-5x-4=46
-5x=46+4
-5x=50

For this case we must solve the following equation:


-5x - 4 = 46

To do this, we must clear the value of "x":

We add 4 to both sides of the equation:


-5x - 4 + 4 = 46 + 4\\-5x = 50

We divide between -5 on both sides of the equation:


\frac {-5x} {- 5} = \frac {50} {- 5}\\x = -10

Answer:


x = -10
